The intensity for the rehabilitation of persistent symptoms after Long Covid is based on scientific insights. Training and treatment are conducted within safe load zones to prevent overexertion while stimulating recovery.
Long Covid Rehabilitation Program Based on Scientific Research
The intensity for the rehabilitation of persistent symptoms after Long Covid follows specific “training zones”. We do not train, treat, and/or exercise in the so-called “danger zone”. We do not engage in activities that cause excessive overstimulation far into the symptoms. We do treat with overstimulation within the training/treatment zone. Scientific studies have shown that this approach is most effective for treating Long Covid.
Duration of the program
The complete program lasts a total of 5 months. In the 2 weeks prior to the on-site program in Spain, online intake assessments are conducted by the rehabilitation doctor, psychologist, and dietitian. This is to prepare you and us well before you come to our center. These examinations help determine the causes and potential complications that are causing your symptoms and at what level we need to implement treatment for each cause of each individual complaint. This level is usually different for each cause. During the on-site program, you are also prepared for your return home, and we offer 3 months of aftercare via online consultations and an online training program.

Coverage for Long Covid Program
The Long Covid rehabilitation program is a private program. Unfortunately, health insurance does not cover this program. Some health insurers may cover a portion of individual treatments such as physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and/or psychology. What and how much is covered depends on your personal policy terms.
Frequently Asked Questions:
No, the flight is at your own expense. Transportation to and from Alicante/Valencia airport is included.
No, we treat a little in the over-stimulation so that recovery and improvement of symptoms occurs. The most important thing is that we treat the causes of the symptoms at the right intensity.
During the consultation, the therapist will discuss with you which program best suits your needs. Factors such as your symptoms, how long you can be away from home, budget, and the severity of your complaints are taken into account.
