Long Covid

For some people, the effects of Covid-19 continue long after the initial infection. Long Covid refers to ongoing or recurring symptoms that can last for months, including fatigue, shortness of breath, muscle or joint pain, dizziness, and changes to smell or taste. Long Covid is a post-viral condition, similar to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) and fibromyalgia. These conditions all cause fatigue and widespread body pain. The symptoms associated with these conditions can affect energy levels, mobility, and overall quality of life.

At the Good Health Centre, our practitioners use gentle, targeted treatments to help manage the lingering effects of Long Covid. We offer the Perrin Technique – a specialist treatment carried out by trained osteopaths. It focuses on clearing lymphatic blockages that have disrupted the functioning of the sympathetic nervous system which regulates a variety of bodily functions. The Perrin Technique is gentle and includes specific massage, spinal mobilization, and cranial osteopathic techniques. Learn more about the Perrin Technique here.
