It depends on what caused the restrictive or obstructive disorder!  Asthma is reversible, and it is an obstructive disorder.  COPD is also an obstructive disorder that is not reversible.  A restrictive disorder can be stopped sometimes with treatment.  Pulmonary fibrosis is an example of a restrictive disorder.

Why not do a search on obstructive and restrictive disorders and you'll be able to see for yourself!
