Benefits of Physical Therapy with COVID-19

It has been found that the higher the exercise capacity of an individual, the lower the odds of hospitalization from COVID-19
An individual’s exercise capacity is greatly influenced by their physical activity and exercise training habits
Regularly performed moderate intensity aerobic type exercise greatly enhances immune function and physical therapists can help you along your journey.
Physical therapy treatment works to improve patients’ exercise capacities including strength and cardiovascular function

How does physical therapy help after recovering from COVID-19 symptoms?

Strength loss, atrophy, and contractures can develop from prolonged bed rest.
These deficits can lead to difficulty standing from seated position, walking, and performing daily activities, in addition to increases in pain.
Physical therapy can help improve these deficits through a personalized exercise prescription targeted to improve aerobic capacity.
