Abstract

The problem of restoring health after COVID-19 is revealed. Coronavirus disease is a blow to the body. This virus brings an imbalance in all systems of the body. According to the World Health Organization, more and more information is emerging that patients who have recovered from Covid-19 in a mild form can struggle with long-term health problems for a long time after the virus has disappeared from the body. The results of the Wuhan study suggest that pulmonary fibrosis was found even in those who did not have symptoms such as cough or fever. In addition to the negative consequences of the disease for the lungs, there are disturbances in the functioning of the heart, kidneys, and nervous system. The kidneys are also affected by the toxic drugs used in the treatment. What worries even more is that the manifestations of the consequences can be felt by people who have had Covid-19 asymptomatically and are unaware of the presence of the infection. Rehabilitation after COVID-19 involves a multifaceted impact at different levels, that is, physical therapy (exercise therapy), breathing exercises, massage, nutritional support, psychotherapy, physiotherapy, and proper nutrition.
