After recovering from the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), the patients often suffer from COVID-related
disabilities which can strongly affect their physical fitness and quality of life. It is not only the serious COVID-19
cases (e.g. those who required mechanical ventilation or developed respiratory failure) that can lead to post-
COVID disabilities, but also milder cases are frequently associated with long-term health problems. Reduced lung
performance is one of the classic symptoms but other functional impairments may also occur.
More and more scientific studies support the clinical finding that infection with the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 can lead to a variety of neurological concomitants and secondary diseases. Symptoms include motor and cognitive function loss, nerve and muscle pain, olfactory and gustatory disturbances. High-quality neurological follow-up care for those affected is therefore very important. Often, the sequelae are a combination of different impairments, regardless of the severity of the course of the previous COVID-19 disease.
This is where we come in with our offer of SPECIALISED INTENSIVE POST-COVID-19 REHABILITATION FOR
NEUROLOGICAL COMPLICATIONS. In view of the various individual courses of illness and their consequences,
the rehabilitation measures are tailored to each patient and his/her needs. An individual treatment plan will be
