🫁 COPD – Let’s Talk About Breathing Better

COPD is a long-term lung condition that makes breathing difficult. People with COPD often feel short of breath, get tired easily, and may have a long-lasting cough.

🌿 How Physiotherapy Helps
Physiotherapy teaches simple breathing exercises to help breathing become slower, easier, and more controlled. These exercises help reduce breathlessness and improve daily activity.

🙏 Mindful Breathing – Ānāpāna Sati Bhāvanā
In our Buddhist culture, ආනාපාන සති භාවනාව is a simple practice of being aware of breathing in and breathing out.

මෙය හුස්ම ඇතුළට ගැනීම සහ පිටතට හැරීම පිළිබඳ සන්සුන් අවධානයක් පවත්වා ගැනීමයි.

This gentle breathing method helps the mind relax, reduces anxiety, and supports calm, controlled breathing.
මෙම ක්‍රමය මනස සන්සුන් කරයි, භීතිය අඩු කරයි, හුස්ම ගැනීම පාලනය කිරීමට උපකාරී වේ.

When guided properly, it can be safely used as a breathing exercise for COPD patients.
නිසි මගපෙන්වීමක් යටතේ, COPD රෝගීන්ට මෙය ආරක්ෂිත හුස්ම ගැනීමේ අභ්‍යාසයක් ලෙස භාවිත කළ හැක.

💬 Calm mind – Calm breathing – Better living

🦴 Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS): How Physiotherapy Helps 🦴

Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory condition that mainly affects the spine and sacroiliac joints. If not managed well, it can lead to pain, stiffness, reduced mobility, and spinal fusion over time.

🔹 Common Signs & Symptoms ▪️ Chronic low back pain and morning stiffness
▪️ Reduced spinal and hip mobility
▪️ Stooped posture due to spinal fusion
▪️ Alternating buttock pain
▪️ Fatigue and general discomfort
▪️ Chest pain or tightness due to rib joint involvement

💡 Why Physiotherapy is Important in AS Physiotherapy plays a key role in slowing progression and improving daily function by helping to: ✔️ Maintain spinal mobility and posture
✔️ Reduce pain and stiffness
✔️ Improve breathing and chest expansion
✔️ Enhance overall quality of life

🎯 Physiotherapy Goals ▪️ Improve spinal and pelvic mobility
▪️ Maintain upright posture and functional independence
▪️ Increase chest expansion
▪️ Relieve pain and stiffness

🧘‍♂️ Physiotherapy Treatment Approaches 🔸 Exercise Therapy ▪️ Postural correction exercises
▪️ Spinal extension and rotation movements
▪️ Hip stretching and strengthening
▪️ Core and back strengthening

🔸 Manual Therapy ▪️ Soft tissue release techniques
▪️ Spinal and hip joint mobilization
▪️ Relaxation techniques

🔸 Hydrotherapy ▪️ Gentle, low-impact exercises in water to improve flexibility and strength

🔸 Pain Management ▪️ Heat therapy
▪️ TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation)
▪️ Ergonomic advice and posture education
▪️ Guided stretching and relaxation

✅ In Summary Although Ankylosing Spondylitis is a progressive condition, regular and guided physiotherapy can help patients manage symptoms effectively, maintain mobility, and live a more active, independent life.

📌 Early diagnosis + consistent exercise = better long-term outcomes
