Using laser therapy in the rehabilitation of Long COVID-19
Unfortunately, we are not yet able to control the coronavirus and the complaints people get when they are infected with COVID-19 are very diverse.
Some people have long-lasting symptoms after they have had COVID-19. These complaints can last a few weeks, but sometimes also several months. However, its severity may diminish over time. The English term 'long COVID' is sometimes also used for long-term complaints after COVID-19. Long here means: 'long-term'.
By many people with Long COVID complaints, breathing seems to be blocked by a disturbed cooperation between the diaphragm and the muscles of the abdominal wall.
The diaphragm is the big one respiratory muscle which lies like a dome under your lungs. After a COVID-19 infection, the diaphragm is often disrupted and feels painful. This is accompanied by shortness of breath.
