Long COVID Recovery

Long COVID is becoming an increasingly recognised condition some people suffer following SARS-CoV19 infection. It frequently involves fatigue, breathlessness, anxiety and depression, palpitations, chest pain, joint and muscle pain and 'brain fog'.

How can we help?

We have extensive experience in looking after intensive care survivors; there appear to be a lot of similarities between long COVID and post intensive care syndrome. We can help:

Improve your muscle strength so you can use the oxygen you breathe more efficiently
Help you cope better with feeling out of breath
Improve your fitness so you feel more confident to do things
Help you feel better mentally
Reduce your risks of ending up in hospital

What to expect...
