Telemedical acupressure and Qigong for post-COVID fatigue: A qualitative study

From participants' perspectives, telemedical Qigong and acupressure functioned as self-care tools that provided structure, emotional regulation, and a sense of agency in living with PCS. At the same time, the flexibility of the telemedical format both enabled access and, for some, reduced externally imposed structure, while cognitive, physical, and contextual barriers constrained consistent engagement. These findings suggest that future telemedical programs should carefully balance flexibility with structured support and remain sensitive to individual capacities and everyday circumstances.
