(Rehabilitation of the body after COVID-19 and its complications)

At present, there is a rapid increase worldwide in the number of patients with respiratory viral diseases caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. Scientists have proven that 30% of patients develop lung fibrosis after infection, 70% experience neuropsychiatric disorders, and 10% show cardiovascular system damage. Even in people who had mild cases of COVID-19, symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, anxiety, and flare-ups of existing chronic conditions can persist for a long time. About **84% of those who have recovered require post-COVID rehabilitation**.

To help restore health after COVID-19, including post-pneumonia recovery, specialists at our resort have developed a unique rehabilitation program combining innovative methods tested and used by leading global clinics over the past four months with classical physiotherapy techniques.

THE PROGRAM INCLUDES:

1. Innovative biomagnetic vascular therapy — which forms the basis of European rehabilitation protocols. Scientists have shown that the CT finding known as "ground-glass opacity" in post-COVID pneumonia indicates significant capillary dilation in lung tissue. This pathological condition persists for a long time and impairs gas exchange in the lungs.
   Biomagnetic vascular therapy is the only physiotherapeutic procedure that has been clinically proven to improve microcirculation by 29%, increase arteriole and venule tone, and enhance gas exchange in the lungs by 30% from baseline. A special device with efficacy confirmed by international scientific studies since 2000 is used for this therapy.
2. Special course of aerobic exercise.
3. Breathing exercises according to the Strel'nikova method.
4. Singlet oxygen therapy.
5. Neubulizer (inhalation) therapy.
6. Percussion-vibration massage.
7. Device-based physiotherapy (laser, ultrasound, quantum therapy).
8. Climatotherapy (treatment through favorable natural climate).

Additional procedures (payable), to enhance the basic effect:

• Holcoreflexotherapy;
• VLOK, UFOK (intravenous laser blood irradiation);
• Carboxytherapy;
• Honey massage;
• Craniosacral therapy (a form of manual therapy).

Main goals of medical rehabilitation:

• Improved lung ventilation and gas exchange;
• Enhanced bronchial drainage function;
• Better resorption of edema and consolidation zones in lung tissue, reduced fibrosis development;
• Improved microcirculation in organs and tissues;
• Prevention of stress, anxiety, and depression.

NOTE:

• Upon arrival at the resort, guests must provide a spa-resort card (issued by a family doctor), a discharge summary with lab results, a negative PCR test after recovery, or an IgG antibody test taken no earlier than six months after infection, along with CT or X-ray findings.
• Patients who had coronavirus without lung involvement can start the rehabilitation course 14 days after full recovery. Patients who experienced pneumonia due to the virus are accepted for treatment no earlier than two months after recovery.
