The Goals of Post COVID Pulmonary Rehabilitation

Our Nationally Recognized Clinical Post COVID Rehabilitation Program has shown reversals in many “Long Haul” symptoms. The goals of our program are to enable people who have recovered from COVID, but are still experiencing breathing issues, fatigue, headaches, brain fog and general low energy levels, to achieve their maximum level of Pre-COVID health and start enjoying their life again.

These goals are accomplished by:

  • Eradicating shortness of breath
  • Decreasing fatigue
  • Decreasing headaches
  • Decreasing brain fog
  • Increasing overall energy and quality of life

Benefits

“Long Haul” Patients

Patients with COVID “Long Haul Syndrome”, now called “Long COVID”, are able to improve their level of breathing, activity level and Pre-COVID quality of life. Our post-COVID Pulmonary Rehabilitation program implements exercises and specialized training, which strengthens the heart as well as the muscles used for breathing, which can help alleviate shortness of breath, fatigue, headaches, brain fog and other post-COVID symptoms. People with Long COVID tend to limit physical activity because they are fearful of becoming short of breath, but inactivity causes muscle strength and heart health to decline. Post COVID rehab helps patients maintain physical fitness and regain control of their breathing. They can then pursue activities to the full extent of their abilities prior to having COVID

All participants undergo:

  • A comprehensive medical history evaluation
  • Comprehensive pre and post training respiratory testing
  • Complete life-style and fitness questionnaires
  • Cognitive Assessment Testing
  • Cardiovascular fitness assessment
  • Cholesterol evaluation
  • Body composition measurement
  • Testing of their strength and balance

These individualized programs, designed by a Pulmonologist and Exercise Physiologist, and held in a controlled setting, help patients safely regain and improve their respiratory health.
