The COVID-19 pandemic has affected each of us in some way, whether you have contracted the virus, lost a loved one, or even those who are experiencing the negative effects of inactivity due to stay at home orders. As the medical community continues to learn more about the virus and the way it affects the body, civilians are stuck in this whirlwind of uncertainty about when we can get back to our normal lives. For those of us whose health has been directly impacted by the pandemic, solutions may seem slim. Don’t lose hope just yet, as your local provider of physical therapy Quincy MA, Peak Physical Therapy, is offering rehabilitation treatments for patients recovering from COVID-19.

Patients

The physical and emotional challenges that patients face weeks, months, even years after having the virus can be debilitating and life-altering. According to the CDC, the most commonly reported long term symptoms are:

• Fatigue
• Shortness of breath
• Cough
• Joint pain
• Chest pain
• Brain fog
• Depression
• Muscle pain
• Headaches
• Intermittent fever
• Heart palpitations

In these cases, it is appropriate to seek physical therapy Quincy MA, from your local Peak Physical Therapy office as well as other rehabilitation support. Research indicates early intervention and recovery programs such as our Post-COVID Reconditioning Program can improve lung function, strength, activity capacity, cognitive function, and emotional well-being.

Physical Therapy for Post-COVID Rehabilitation

Our highly-educated therapists undergo advanced training, which gives them the experience and education to provide you with the highest standard of care. By performing a thorough examination, physical therapists are able to identify patient-specific deficits and develop an individualized reconditioning program that includes vital monitoring. This is crucial for patients who are in the recovery stages to safely return to their previous level of functioning while also decreasing the risk of rehospitalization. Individuals who have limited their physical activity as a result of government-issued ordinances are also at risk for deconditioning and exacerbation of chronic disease and pain.

Overall, it is important that those affected by the pandemic get the proper medical care in order to prevent symptoms from potentially developing into long-term debilitations. If you or a loved one are experiencing either direct or indirect effects of COVID-19, Peak Physical Therapy can help get you back to your regular day-to-day life, work, and recreational activities with either in-person or telehealth treatment options.
