Can’t seem to catch a breath? Try pursed lip breathing.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Relax your neck and shoulders.
2. Inhale slowly through your nose for 2 counts.
3. Pucker your lips as if you are about to whistle or blow out a candle.
4. Exhale slowly through your mouth for 4 counts.

This is one of many techniques taught in Pulmonary Rehab to improve breathing. Exercise training, energy conservation, and nutritional counseling are part of this practice to help patients breathe more easily.
