Post-COVID rehabilitation
People who have recovered from a COVID-19 infection frequently experience long-term symptoms (long COVID).
These include:
- Breathing complaints, coughing
- Muscle weakness and pain
- Lethargy, reduced concentration
Restoring fitness after a coronavirus illness
For sufferers of long COVID, we offer a special post-COVID rehabilitation program intended to improve and restore general physical capabilities. But if you are looking to specifically recover your athletic fitness after a coronavirus infection, this program is also for you.
Post-COVID rehabilitation: Overview of services
The post-COVID rehabilitation program is offered on an outpatient basis in the Physical Medicine department of Döbling Private Hospital and includes the following services:
- 1 medical examination plus
- 10 units of physiotherapy (including respiratory gymnastics and medical training therapy)
Additional types of physical therapy can be prescribed in the case of musculoskeletal pain (not included in the program).
Duration:
The physiotherapy units take place 2 – 3 times/week – depending on individual capabilities. Accordingly, the program lasts 3.5 to 5 weeks.
Please note:
A cardiology exam and a pulmonary exam are required prior to undergoing the post-COVID rehabilitation. You can receive both in advance at the Outpatient Center for Internal Medicine of Döbling Outpatient Center, which also offers special internal medicine post-COVID checks.
