Recovery physiotherapy and respiratory rehabilitation post COVID - 19
Following SARS-COV 2 infection, it has been observed that some people may be left with certain sequelae:
• intense fatigue
• decreased respiratory capacity
• muscle atrophy
• damage to muscles involved in breathing
• joint pain (limitation of normal movements)
• tendon retractions
The program is dedicated to patients who have been infected with the new virus, as well as to those who suffer from lung diseases with physical consequences: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchial asthma, pulmonary emphysema, bronchiectasis, respiratory allergies, occupational lung diseases, primary or secondary bronchial asthma.
The first step is always a consultation. During the consultation, the patient discusses with the doctor about the medical problems encountered during the period when they were positive for SARS-Cov-2, will be clinically examined by the doctor and will be explained what the recovery program consists of.
If the sequelae are only mild respiratory dysfunction, respiratory rehabilitation exercises may be started under the guidance and supervision of a kintetotherapist.
If the post Covid sequelae include: muscle fatigue, mild atrophy, joint stiffness, the patient is included in a program of recuperative physiotherapy with exercises of a somewhat higher intensity associated with respiratory rehabilitation. Patients who will enter this program will perform exercises on a bicycle or treadmill, upper, lower and respiratory muscle training, breathing exercises, occupational therapy.
In addition to the full recovery of the respiratory function, these programs also aim at the full recovery of the effort capacity in order to allow full reintegration into everyday life.
Goals of early rehabilitation therapy:
- Reduce breathing difficulties
- Increased ability to mobilize and perform activities of daily living (ADLs)
- Relieve anxiety and depression
- Decreased incidence of complications
Effects of remedial physiotherapy and respiratory rehabilitation:
- Increased respiratory capacity followed by efficient tissue oxygenation
- Prevention of ventilatory dysfunction
- Decrease associated pain
- Decreased contraction of respiratory muscles
- Increased joint flexibility
- Effective airway permeabilization
- Prevent complications of respiratory diseases Exercise training
- Elimination of bronchial secretions
Contraindications of respiratory physiotherapy:
- Acute pulmonary cord
- Acute respiratory failure
- Bronchiectasis with hemoptysis
- Other associated pathologies in the acute phase
To be effective, the physiotherapy program must be followed rigorously for 6-8 weeks, with a minimum of 3 sessions per week of 20-30 min each.

Gerovital ozone facial massage
Facial massage is a therapy with multiple beneficial effects: lifting, anti-aging, stimulating blood circulation, detoxifying, cleansing and relaxing. Performing this massage in ozone vapors enhances all the effects and, in addition, the effect created is similar to that of a steam and ozone sauna. It can be used for therapeutic as well as maintenance and rejuvenation purposes. The combination of open pores, heat and ozone initiates the detoxification process.
Type: medical
Duration: 30 min
Medical consultation: not necessarily required
Saline aerosol therapy
Artificial saline. The therapeutic qualities of the air in salt pans are largely due to aerosols. These are very fine particles of healing minerals that float in the air and are easy to inhale.
Saline treatment is very good for those with various respiratory tract conditions: post Covid-19 breathing difficulties, bronchitis, bronchial asthma, airway inflammations, etc. Inhaling aerosols increases the body's immunity and treats a whole range of stress-related problems such as sleep disturbances and anxiety.
Contra-indications: TB, pulmonary mycoses, pulmonary neoplasms, angina pectoris, hypertension, heart failure, kidney failure, infectious diseases, epilepsy, claustrophobia and pregnancy.
Type: medical
Duration: 50 min
Medical consultation: required
Programmed magnetotherapy to relieve anxiety and depression
A Romanian invention that uses the electromagnetic field induced by a coil placed in the form of a magnetic cylinder around the bed on which the patient lies. The aim of this therapy is to
achieve general calming and improvement of both the nervous and circulatory systems. By using the sedative program, the electromagnetic fields act on the nervous system, relieving anxiety and depression
The major contraindications are: pacemaker, malignant tumors, pregnancy.
Type: medical
Duration: 10-15 min
Medical recommendation: required
Muscle relaxation and thermal aerosol therapy in the Caracalla Shower
The Caracalla Shower is an individual bath in which water jets and air currents result in a relaxing massage. The water temperature of 36-37oC improves blood circulation and relaxes contracted muscles. While the program is running, aerosols are released from the thermal water, so the inhaled steam moistens the airways, loosens secretions and stimulates their elimination.
Contraindications: cardiac diseases (hypertension, heart rhythm disturbances, ischemic disease), unbalancing diabetes mellitus, hydrostatic varicose veins, dermatologic diseases, febrile conditions, cachexia, epilepsy, major mental illness, neoplasms, major organ failure, pregnancy.
Type: medical
Duration: 10-15 min
