Studies have shown that long Covid can be reversed in six weeks with a plan to gradually increase exercise over time.
The program builds up from gentle stretching and breathing exercises until you do the activities you were doing before you got sick, like sports and training.
It was tested on 31 people. suffering from long covid symptoms People who report having symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, shortness of breath, and “crashing” 3 times a week for approximately 17 months Left exhausted after light physical or mental exertion.
After 6 weeks, at the end of the program, the average crash was down to 1 crash per week.
Patient experience Moderate improvement in ability to be active and a better quality of life.
Noticeable improvement
Elizabeth Bycroft, 52, of Leeds, who fell ill with Covid in March 2020 during the first wave of the pandemic, was one of the participants who saw noticeable improvement.
“I used to walk miles with my dog, attend fitness classes, and usually run up stairs. After Covid, it all stopped.
“I couldn’t do the routine things that used to be a part of my life. At home, I had to go up the stairs and go into one of the bedrooms and sit down to catch my breath.
“I’m not so bad now. I still can’t do some of the things I used to do pre-Covid. But I can walk out again, albeit with occasional shortness of breath.” There are also days when I am completely exhausted, but those days are becoming less and less.”
