A rehabilitation and physical therapy program for patients recovering from COVID-19 or other respiratory infections or chronic conditions.
This program is NOT for patients who have an active COVID-19 infection and are symptomatic.
More than a year into the pandemic and there is still a lot unknown about this virus and its long term health effects. Although at this point scientists have gathered important information pertaining to COVID-19, a lot needs to be uncovered in order to better understand how to manage the active infection and how to prevent chronic conditions that may result from this illness. A percentage of people who have contracted the virus report lingering symptoms which is not necessarily experienced by patients with severe initial symptoms. Meaning that even patients with mild or no initial symptoms are reporting these lingering symptoms which are now labelled as Long COVID.
Although COVID-19 virus mainly causes injury to the respiratory system, but inflammation in other organs is not uncommon. It is unknown why some of the patients who had been infected with the virus and did not experience initial severe symptoms continue to suffer from fatigue, shortness of breath, brain fog, and other symptoms long after the infection is resolved.
At Physiomobility, we recognize that there is emerging need for a multitude of treatment options to treat and manage the lingering symptoms for people who were infected with COVID-19. While the virus belongs to the well-known family of viruses that cause respiratory illnesses like flu, there is a lot that is unknown about COVID-19. Not surprisingly, the fear caused by the unknown, impacts not only people who have dealt with the illness but their families, employers and medical and public health professionals.
Physiotherapists who are part of the medical team treating acute cases of COVID-19 play an important role in ICU and acute hospital settings to keep airways open and manage acute complications. In post-acute or recovery stage of COVID-19 illness, the role of a physiotherapist is mainly focused on improving patient’s physical functioning and returning to normal life. As importantly, a rehabilitation program designed by a physiotherapist will attempt to reduce the risk and severity of future respiratory infections.
At Physiomobility, we recognize the need for a rehabilitation program focused on improving respiratory function and physical conditioning. Our physiotherapy/kinesiology team has developed a program based on current and available research. This respiratory rehabilitation program is structured around breathing exercises and physical endurance and strength training.
Our goal is assisting you in recovery and returning to your daily activities as quickly and safely as possible.
