At FloRehab Center we have a specific activity program for each individual patient according to the first initial evaluation.


Here are some examples on how we treat COPD:

  • We use AcuPressure on the lung meridians to help improve breathing the correct way which leasds to more oxygen in and carbon dioxide out. Also increases overall lung function and increasing lung capacity.
  • To decrease the residual air inside the lung plus breathing exercises to stregnthen the breathing muscles such as the diaphram.
  • Using the machines to increase accessory breathing muscles, such as the shoulders and chest.
