Recovering from long covid requires a structured and personalised approach. Persistent symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, reduced physical capacity and concentration problems can affect daily life for months after the initial infection. Effective rehabilitation focuses on addressing the physical and mental impact of long covid while helping patients gradually regain confidence in their bodies.
At Medifit Reha, every rehabilitation programme is tailored to the individual. An experienced multidisciplinary team develops a treatment plan based on each patient’s symptoms, goals and recovery potential. The programme combines evidence based rehabilitation techniques with professional guidance to support sustainable recovery.
Which therapies are used to treat long covid?
Successful long covid rehabilitation combines multiple therapies that address different aspects of recovery. Rather than focusing on a single intervention, the treatment programme is adapted to the patient’s needs and adjusted throughout the rehabilitation process. This personalised approach helps patients rebuild strength, improve breathing patterns and manage the emotional consequences of prolonged illness.
The rehabilitation programme at Medifit Reha may include:
- Respiratory physiotherapy
- EMDR and cognitive behavioral therapy
- Breathwork
- Mobilization exercises
- Healthy lifestyle coaching
These treatments are delivered by a multidisciplinary team consisting of physiotherapists, psychologists, dietitians and personal trainers. Each specialist contributes their expertise to create a comprehensive rehabilitation programme that supports physical recovery, mental wellbeing and long term health.
Is long covid treatment covered by health insurance?
Long covid rehabilitation at Medifit Reha is provided as a private treatment programme. This means the programme is not covered by health insurance and patients are responsible for the associated costs themselves. Before treatment begins, patients receive clear information about the programme and its pricing so they know exactly what to expect.
Choosing a private rehabilitation programme offers the advantage of a personalised treatment plan with direct access to a multidisciplinary team. The focus remains on providing high quality care that is tailored to the patient’s individual recovery goals without being limited by standard reimbursement pathways.
How long does long covid treatment take?
The duration of rehabilitation depends on the severity of symptoms, the patient’s overall health and the progress made during treatment. Because long covid affects every individual differently, there is no standard recovery timeline. Some patients experience significant improvement within several weeks, while others benefit from a longer rehabilitation programme.
Regular evaluations allow the treatment team to monitor progress and adjust the programme whenever necessary. This flexible approach helps patients recover at a pace that is appropriate for their condition while reducing the risk of setbacks caused by overexertion.
What does long covid rehabilitation involve?
A comprehensive rehabilitation programme addresses more than physical symptoms alone. Long covid can influence breathing, endurance, emotional wellbeing, nutrition and overall lifestyle. By combining specialised therapies with personalised coaching, patients receive support across every stage of their recovery.
At Medifit Reha, rehabilitation is designed to improve physical function, restore healthy breathing patterns, strengthen resilience and encourage sustainable lifestyle changes. Close collaboration between physiotherapists, psychologists, dietitians and personal trainers ensures that every aspect of recovery receives professional attention. The result is a coordinated rehabilitation programme that supports patients in returning to their daily activities with greater confidence and improved quality of life.
