慢性阻塞性肺病是什麼?
慢性阻塞性肺病是指肺部支氣管的慢性發炎產生的黏液阻礙氣流的通暢程度，以及肺泡的之間缺乏間隔使肺部氣流易進難出的現象。
慢性阻塞性肺病常見的族群主要集中在氣喘、支氣管炎病史、長期抽煙、空氣污染、職業需求（如農藥）的人身上。
症狀是，明明沒有感冒，時不時就可以清出一口白白的痰，胸腔的外觀特色是桶狀胸，可大桶可小桶。
在慢性阻塞性肺病之前物理治療可以做什麼？
- 有效咳嗽和氣道清潔技巧保持肺部氣流通暢性
- 靜脈手法使肺部有較佳血流氣體比例
- 透過DNS運動讓胸腔的形狀較佳
在慢性阻塞性肺病之前物理治療可以帶來什麼好處？
- 肌肉的生長較佳
- 較省力有效能的動作模式
- 增加新陳代謝與循環
- 減少系統性的慢性發炎反應
- 減少心臟的負擔
如果你總是感到電力不足、睡起來昏昏沈沈、身上小問題總是一波未平一波又起，或是曾經有肺部病史（如：抽菸、氣喘），就可以即早保養肺部，讓身上的細胞有獲得新鮮的氧氣的機會，讓一天的精神更好

What is Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)?
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) refers to the condition where chronic inflammation of the bronchial tubes in the lungs results in mucus buildup that obstructs airflow.
It is characterized by the lack of separation between the alveoli, making it easy for air to enter and difficult for air to exit the lungs.
The common groups at risk for COPD include individuals with a history of asthma, bronchitis, long-term smoking, air pollution exposure, and occupational hazards (such as pesticide exposure).
Symptoms include the occasional ability to cough up white phlegm without having a cold.
The appearance of the chest may resemble a barrel shape, which can vary in size.
Before the onset of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, what can physical therapy do?
1. Effective coughing and airway clearance techniques to maintain lung airflow.
2. Manual techniques to improve the blood-gas ratio in the lungs.
3. DNS (Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization) exercises to improve the shape of the thoracic cavity.
What are the benefits of physical therapy before the onset of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease?
1. Better muscle growth.
2. More efficient movement patterns with less effort.
3. Increased metabolism and circulation.
4. Reduction of systemic chronic inflammation.
5. Decreased burden on the heart.
If you often feel low on energy, wake up feeling groggy, and experience a series of ongoing health issues, or if you have a history of lung-related illnesses (such as smoking or asthma), it‘s important to take care of your lungs early.
Give your body’s cells the chance to receive fresh oxygen, which will help improve your overall vitality throughout the day.
