Some of these studies had small numbers of patients or followed patients for a short period of time. These studies do not provide doctors with complete knowledge of why meditative movement can help with issues like lung function, and which patients may benefit the most from them. However, while more research is definitely needed learn more about the exact benefits of meditative movement, there is a growing body of evidence to support this as a useful adjunctive tool for COPD patients who are interested in managing their disease process and preserving quality of life. Please talk to your doctor about meditative movement to see if it could be helpful for you.
