Long COVID? What is it?

The COVID-19 pandemic, which emerged in November 2019, continues to turn the world upside down. Most people infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus recover and no longer have any symptoms after 2 or 3 weeks.

However, some people experience and suffer from late-onset or prolonged symptoms. This is what is known as “long COVID”.

The signs of long COVID

Infographic (in French) “The main symptoms of long COVID”: over 100 symptoms recorded. Body: profound fatigue, malaise after physical exercise, intermittent fevers, joint pain. Heart: exercise intolerance, palpitations. Muscles: muscle fatigue and pain. Brain: insomnia, headaches, loss of taste, memory and concentration problems. Lungs: breathlessness on exertion, cough, chest pain. Source: Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, 5 October 2020.

The most frequently reported persistent symptoms are very varied and affect adults, but also teenagers and children:

  • Intense fatigue, concentration and memory problems, cognitive disorders, depression
  • Breathlessness, cough, chest pain
  • Loss or alteration of smell and taste
  • Cardiothoracic disorders
  • Muscle and joint pain

Reflexology to support long COVID?

Many studies on long COVID are under way in numerous countries and, to this day, still give rise to much conflicting debate about how it is diagnosed.

As a professional reflexologist, I focus exclusively on the physical and emotional signs and symptoms described by the child, teenager or adult, even if they have not been “diagnosed” with long COVID.

Supporting you with long COVID, in a holistic and personalised way, means time set aside to listen to you, together with reflexology care targeting very specific reflex zones. I work on

  • the physical level: observing and working on physical symptoms, strengthening the immune system
  • the emotional level: recognising and relieving loss of motivation, frustration, sadness, low mood, irritability, compulsive or addictive behaviours…
  • the whole-person level: reviving blocked vital energy in a body that is often exhausted

so that you feel listened to, soothed and re-energised physically and emotionally, and stronger in the face of long COVID.
