Post Covid Recovery
While the exact numbers are uncertain, there are many people who have lingering Covid symptoms. Often referred to as “long Covid” or “long haul Covid”, the symptoms include: Shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, chronic fatigue, memory or concentration problems, joint pain, decreased strength and mobility. Physical therapy can help manage these chronic, debilitating symptoms and improve post Covid recovery.
Physical therapy solutions
- According to the Mayo Clinic “Although COVID-19 is seen as a disease that primarily affects the lungs, it can also damage many other organs, including the heart, kidneys and the brain.” Our physical therapists address many of the COVID19 long haul symptoms. We carefully monitor vital signs, such as heart rate and blood oxygen levels. As we implement treatment programs we tailor them to fit client’s specific needs and physical condition.
- We design exercise programs and identify safe levels of activity that will not over stress the body’s systems while working to restore strength and mobility. Carefully executed active exercise is a good way to reduce joint pain. It also further improves lost mobility and increases diminished balance.
- Having a daily routine of exercises and cognitive challenges can improve memory, concentration and boost mood . We use techniques to promote neuroplasticity, which will address many of the long haul symptoms and help clients get back to living more normally and comfortably.
- We create a salient and personally meaningful routine and upgrade it regularly to keep people active. Our goal is to get clients back to their pre-Covid physical levels.
