A member asked:
Do doctors refer patients with copd to the gym for exercise?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
COPD and Exercise : Supervised exercise programs can be very helpful for COPD patients. For severe disease, the exercise should be done in a formal pulmonary rehabilitation program. Milder disease may permit the exercise to be done at a gym but only if approved by the doctor.
