Post Covid Rehabilitation

What exactly is Post-COVID Rehabilitation ?

Getting COVID-19 is scary enough but continuing to have symptoms after COVID-19 can make you wonder if you will ever fully recover. Rehabilitation after COVID-19 is needed for individuals experiencing longer-term disabling illness at any stage of COVID-19 infection.

Rehabilitation refers to a collection of interventions, designed specifically to reduce impairment and restore normal functioning in the patient. When a patient recovers from a new coronavirus infection but still has lingering symptoms, rehabilitation can be an important technique for minimizing the impact of COVID-19 on the individual’s body functioning and health. It is also vital to highlight that physiotherapy plays a significant role in all stages of rehabilitation to promote early release, and develop his psychological capacities.
