For many who have fallen victim to the ravages of COVID-19 infection, recovery has become a long-term process. With many patients experiencing random symptoms months after they had believed themselves to be recovered, the long-term effects of COVID-19 are unpredictable and remain largely unknown.
However, physical therapy is now emerging as a beneficial treatment option for those who continue to suffer – offering strengthening therapies for muscles that refuse to bounce back after the illness – as well as programs to increase breathing capacities for lungs that have been damaged.
According to a study reviewed by the Journal of Physical Therapy Science, the main goal of physical therapy for COVID patients is to reduce the symptoms of difficult breathing, improve lung capacity, and counteract the complications resulting from prolonged periods of decreased movement. These therapies, in turn, can decrease levels of anxiety and counteract depression.
If you continue to suffer symptoms of COVID, such as shortness of breath, muscle weakness, or exhaustion, give us a call to see how we can help.
