Long-COVID has received a lot of media coverage, but what is it? Long-COVID – also known as Post COVID syndrome – is a series of persisting symptoms that present up to and over 4 weeks after you have ‘recovered’ from COVID. These symptoms can include but are not limited to ongoing fatigue, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, muscle / joint pain, anxiety / depression, headaches, brain fog, dizziness and more. They can be debilitating and impact on your function and quality of life. The Wellness Embodied team are here to help with effective Long-COVID treatment Cairns.
Before COVID we saw a number of patients presenting at Wellness Embodied, suffering these same symptoms. While presentation and duration varied, the common factor was that all of these patients were in ‘recovery’ from various virus-like illnesses. This includes tick bites, Ross River Fever, flu, Epstein Barr, HIV, herpes and various other viral infections. Many of these symptoms overlap with symptoms which we see in other client populations, including those with Functional Neurological Disorder, or persistent dizziness. This prompted us to open our Cairns Dizziness Clinic.
Fatigue and brain fog are perhaps the most common and debilitating presenting symptom. In conjunction with our Long-COVID treatment Cairns, we can help you beat the fatigue. We have a number of modalities at our disposal, some of which are outlined as follows. Exercise within a guided window of tolerance (prescribed by your Physiotherapist or Exercise Physiologist). Craniosacral Therapy, Remedial Massage, Physiotherapy or Osteopathy, for wellbeing and management of any pain. We will choose the best one to suit you and your Long-COVID treatment Cairns.
