Janet Brindley came across therapeutic breathing exercises in 1998. They dramatically improved her asthma, and that of her fourteen-year-old son. She then left her job as a hospital biochemist and taught yoga and Buteyko breathing techniques. She has since worked with doctors, physiotherapists and nurses to develop a professional training course. This training course was used as part of an MSc Respiratory Physiotherapy module at Coventry University. She lives near London, UK.
Contents: 1. Welcome to this Four Week Programme. 2. Catch your Breath. 3. Nose Breathe. 4. Stop your Cough. 5. The Buteyko Set. 6. Increasing Tolerance of Breathlessness. 7. Extra Tips to Improve Breathing.

This short book is aimed directly at people who have mild-to-moderate Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). It takes the reader through a 28-day plan, divided into two halves (days 1-14 and 15-28), which is designed to address the common problems of dysfunctional breathing patterns. There are ten chapters, which take the reader through the background to dysfunctional breathing patterns and explains why people may feel increasingly breathless during activities... this is a helpful, wellwrittenbook that people with mild COPD may find beneficial. Occupational therapists would find it a usefuladdition to their bookshelf.
