Learn moreWhat is long COVID?
Long COVID is when health problems last more than 12 weeks after a COVID illness.
Common symptoms include:
- feeling very tired (fatigue)
- pain and muscle aches
- breathlessness or a fast heartbeat
- trouble smelling or tasting
- dizziness or confusion
- tummy problems or loss of appetite
- memory or thinking problems ('brain fog')
- feeling anxious or low in mood
These problems can change over time and can affect different parts of the body
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy helps you manage tiredness and breathing problems and get back to daily activities safely. We look at your daily routine and teach simple strategies to improve how you feel.
Occupational therapy
Occupational therapy helps with everyday tasks and work. We can help you manage tiredness and brain fog and suggest changes to make daily life or work easier.
Psychology
Long COVID is not just physical. It can affect mental health. Our mental wellbeing can make it even harder to manage the effects of symptoms.
The psychology team can offer up to six sessions to help with:
- anxiety or low mood
- coping with distressing symptoms
- adjusting to changes in your body and life
- planning for the future and setting realistic goals
