Rehabilitation after COVID-19: everything you need to know about it
Like any other virus, COVID-19 only appears actively for a week. Further, it triggers changes associated with damage to the immune and vascular systems.
Sooner or later, they will affect your well-being, even if the disease has passed without complications. All the likely consequences that may arise in the future have not yet been studied. Therefore, comprehensive rehabilitation is necessary for everyone who has been ill. Olga Shuppo, an expert, scientific director of the network of immunorehabilitation and preventive medicine clinics Grand Clinic, told us about how the rehabilitation should take place.

The rehabilitation course should begin immediately after the end of the treatment of the clinical form of the infection. It can take anywhere from three months to a year. The main methods of recovery allow you to bring immunity to such a level when it is ready to withstand the negative effects of viruses.
First of all, it will be necessary to normalize tissue oxygenation – oxygen saturation. May appoint interval hypoxytherapy: inhalation of a gas mixture, which is identical in composition to alpine air. Weak cells die under conditions of hypoxia, and healthy cells take their place. The procedure also strengthens blood vessels.
Observation at gastroenterologist will restore the destroyed genetic microbiota. Immune processes are associated with its quality and composition. Required sowing nutritionist… If a deficiency of vitamins and minerals is found, a diet or nutritional supplements will be prescribed.
For a general strengthening effect, it is recommended cryocapsule… Short-term skin contact with a gas-air mixture cooled to –130–160 ° C stimulates adaptive reserves and tissue regeneration.
Pressure chamber normalizes the work of all body systems. Improves the energy components of cells, provides the body with oxygen. Promotes active vascular recovery.
What will rehabilitation help to cope with?
Chronic fatigue syndrome. The infection primarily affects the nervous system, many manifest apathy, a state of depression.
Decreased energy potential. Inside every cell in the body are mitochondria. In them, with the participation of oxygen, fats and carbohydrates are oxidized, forming energy for muscle contraction and maintenance of vital functions.
Vascular lesion. The endothelium lines the surface of the cardiac cavities, lymphatic and blood vessels, thanks to it, a large number of processes occur in the body. The coronavirus violates its integrity, the risk of thrombosis increases. Dangerous consequences can occur – stroke and heart attack.
Decreased protective functions. COVID-19 affects the T-cell link, which destroys foreign cells. As a result, herpes, chronic and inflammatory processes are exacerbated. Infectious diseases occur more often, which proceed with complications.
Hydrogen therapy and detoxification remove intoxication, restore the nervous system and immunity.
