The treatment of COPD includes smoking cessation, drug therapy, home oxygen therapy and rehabilitation. The disease is chronic, progressive and ultimately leads to premature death, so every new therapeutic option is a point of interest.

Osteopathy is a new area of healthcare, in which manual techniques are used to assess neuro-musculoskeletal performance and to optimize its function.
