When you have been infected with the coronavirus, it can lead to prolonged physical symptoms. Recovering from the virus does not necessarily mean that your vitality is the same as before. That’s why the Dutch Healthcare Institute recommends seeking paramedical recovery assistance when needed. Physiotherapy is part of this recovery care. At Cardo Healthcare in Veldhoven and Waalre, former COVID patients are guided through their recovery process.
Essential guidance
COVID rehabilitation with the help of a physiotherapist is specialized work and involves retraining lost muscle mass and improving lung capacity.
Physiotherapy practices that offer this specialized care are affiliated with the Chronic Care Network. The Chronic Care Network expects that COVID recovery is approached from multiple disciplines.
At Cardo Healthcare, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, cesar therapists, and dietitians work closely together to ensure optimal recovery.
Cardo Healthcare Veldhoven and Waalre are both such specialized practices.
High-tech equipment
At Cardo Healthcare, high-tech cardio and training equipment is used.
This equipment allows for very specific strength training tailored to muscle rehabilitation after COVID.
This so-called eGym equipment provides a personalized training routine, with the equipment fully adjusted to the individual’s body. Combined with various therapeutic exercises, such as breathing exercises, this ensures that muscle strength, stamina, and endurance are improved and gradually return to their former level.
Paramedical recovery care scheme
The Dutch Healthcare Institute has been tasked by the Minister of Health to properly organize care for former COVID-19 patients.
The organization has found that paramedical recovery care is crucial in many cases. As a result, it has been decided that people who have been infected with the coronavirus, or have experienced symptoms without being tested, are entitled to 50 physiotherapy sessions covered by basic health insurance.
You do not need to have additional insurance to qualify for this care. This scheme also applies to occupational therapy and speech therapy.
