Health Resort Treatment Improves Functioning and Physical Performance in Long COVID Patients: A Retrospective Study
Fatigue was of moderate intensity in the long COVID patients that qualified for the health resort treatment. Most of the long COVID patients reported mild functional limitations, whereas their physical performance was undisturbed. Health resort treatment improved functioning in patients with persistent COVID-19 symptoms by reducing fatigue, improving their functional capacity and physical performance. It should be recommended as a supplement to the standard treatment because of its complexity.
