Long COVID Therapy

Although we do not yet know all of the medical complications that can happen to each individual post-COVID, evidence and studies are being published on the best course of treatment to help those that are suffering.

At SetPT, we are taking a proactive role to help you with the long-term complications of Long COVID, which can range from mild to severe. We understand that this virus has imposed both physical and emotional challenges on individuals and their families. Working with Set, you won’t hear things like, “You’re just out of shape,” or, “It’s all in your head.” Our clinicians continue to follow the most updated research as it evolves and help patients recover from debilitating illness.

What we see:

• Dysautonomia developed post-infection
• Including Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)
• Respiratory distress or strain
• Fatigue – including ME/CFS type presentations
• Cognitive impairments, such as brain fog, impacting memory and concentration
• Severe deconditioning from extensive bed rest
• Muscle or joint pain
• Chest discomfort
• Sleep dysfunction
• Headaches
• GI dysfunction
• In more severe cases, reduced lung capacity from ventilator use

How can we help you?

• Assess your individual post-COVID-19 symptoms and create a custom plan
• Gentle, progressive exercise training (when appropriate)
• Improve your ability to perform daily activities, like standing, walking, doing chores, self-care tasks, and more
• Provide pacing and energy conservation strategies
• Decrease signs from POTS with exercise/education/positioning
• Improve breathing mechanics and decrease symptoms with specific breathing exercises
• Improve mobility of your ribs, spine, and other restricted body areas
• Improve deficits in upper and lower body strength
• Balance and body awareness
• Manual therapy to address pain, mobility, and circulation deficits

Please contact your local SetPT for any additional information. We offer both in-person and telehealth visits to address your needs. We understand that COVID continues to impact our communities and make sure to take the appropriate precautions to keep you safe.
