Never before have we spent so much time at home. Never before have we avoided visiting friends and public spaces to this degree. Covid-19 has changed our lives and will, unluckily, continue to do so. And mobility restrictions imposed by governments are only a small portion of the inconvenience caused.
Unlike other illnesses like the common flu, those who got infected by SARS-CoV-2 and have recovered from it, oftentimes keep on suffering from the damage COVID-19 has left on their bodies. Significant numbers of recovering patients experience on-going fascia related pain and restricted painful motion. (Sharkey 2021, p. 1) This is due to what they call “long-COVID” or “post-COVID syndrome”.
Beyond manual therapy, science suggests fascia focused movement interventions for alleviating and managing ’post-COVID syndrome’:
“Fascia focused therapeutic interventions are shown to reduce pain and support a re-establishment of function while providing safe, effective and appropriate non-invasive therapy.”1
Who wants, after successfully recovering from COVID-19 to have to live with post-COVID?
Research has shown that just two workouts per week are enough to demonstrably restructure our myofascial tissue within 3 months. The result: movements become smoother, pain disappears, body awareness and well-being increase significantly.

“The videos have been a great support for my recovery. I do them regularly and feel even better now than I did before COVID.” – Bettina F. (from Germany)
