Physiotherapist Katie Knapton from PhysioFit and Pete Moore from the PainToolkit have co-written a self-management guide for people suffering with Long Covid. This is free and entry-level information to try and help people on the path to recovery.
If you are noticing any worsening symptoms especially in terms of chest pain and shortness of breath it is vital that you are medically assessed. If you have been medically cleared, then it is still appropriate to have support and to monitor symptoms.
Self-management is about working in partnership with your healthcare team, family, friends and work colleagues. The Long Covid Toolkit isn’t supposed to be the last word in self-management, but just to get you started. Self-management is all about taking action.
