Covid-19 Rehabilitation

In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, many individuals have faced challenges in their physical health and well-being. While the acute phase of the illness may pass, the recovery journey often extends beyond the initial infection. At Summit, we understand the unique needs of individuals recovering from Covid-19 and offer specialized rehabilitation services to support their journey back to optimal health and function.

Understanding Covid-19 Rehabilitation

Recovering from Covid-19 can be a complex process, as the virus can affect multiple systems within the body. Common symptoms experienced post-infection include:

• Fatigue and weakness
• Shortness of breath
• Muscle and joint pain
• Difficulty with mobility and balance
• Cognitive impairment ("brain fog")
• Emotional distress and anxiety

Our team is trained to address these symptoms and tailor rehabilitation programs to meet the specific needs of each individual. We utilize evidence-based practices and the latest research in Covid-19 rehabilitation to ensure the highest quality of care for our patients.

How We Can Help

Pulmonary Function: We focus on enhancing lung function and respiratory efficiency, helping you overcome breathing difficulties and optimize your pulmonary health.

Cardiovascular and Endurance Training: Covid-19 can leave individuals feeling fatigued and lacking stamina. We develop personalized exercise programs to rebuild that lost energy, gradually increasing your exercise tolerance, and improving overall physical fitness.

Strength Training: Prolonged illness and immobility can lead to muscle weakness and loss of strength. With focused exercises and guidance from our therapists, you can regain muscle function, rebuild strength, and prevent weakness-related complications.

Gait Training: These sessions focus on improving walking mechanics, balance, and coordination, using specialized techniques and assistive devices to enhance your mobility and confidence.

Neuromuscular Training: Covid-19 can impact neuromuscular function, affecting coordination and movement control. We offer specialized neuromuscular training to restore optimal motor function and coordination, helping you regain control over your movements and daily activities.

Recovery from Covid-19 may take time, possibly up to a year for a near full recovery. It’s essential to work with a licensed physical therapist to develop a personalized recovery plan and ensure safe progression until you feel confident to continue exercises independently at home.
