Abstract:

Introduction and Aim: Post-covid syndrome is the group of nonspecific symptoms which are seen among the patients who have been recovered from COVID-19 and that persist over 4 weeks. Symptoms involve fatigue, breathlessness, cough, cognitive disturbances, depression and anxiety, many organs related symptoms, and the prominent features involve shortness of breath and inability to return to baseline activity level. Studies show that Pneumonia which is associated with the COVID-19 infections can lead to long-standing damage to the alveoli in the lungs and as a result scar tissues may develop which in the future can lead to long-term breathing problems. The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of osteopathic CV4 technique in post covid patients.
