What Can a Physical Therapy Rehab Team Can Do to Help You Recover from the Symptoms of COVID-19?

While many people recover from Covid-19 without lingering effects, others may experience a feeling of brain-fog, muscle and joint aches, extreme fatigue and shortness-of-breath for months following their illness.  This has become known as “Long-COVID Syndrome,” and it often requires carefully graded, gentle, and prolonged rehabilitation for your body to regain its strength and return to normal. 

COVID-19 side effects should be treated just like any other kind of physical trauma that results in pain.  Regaining your strength back after COVID-19 can be a long process, but physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy can help.  Our skilled therapists at Maryland Neuro-Rehab & Wellness Center can help you regain muscle strength, stamina, and energy through the following types of programs:

  • Gentle, graded upper and lower body strengthening 
  • Balance and gait training
  • Carefully monitored and steadily graded cardio conditioning 
  • Chewing, and swallowing assessment and strengthening exercises 
  • Breathing exercises to increase breath support and lung capacity 
  • Yoga Stretching
  • Massage and Soft-Tissue Mobilization
  • Mind-Body awareness and Guided Meditation 
  • Cognitive Retraining for memory and organization 
  • Stress-management coping strategies
