Long-COVID: Back to Health Program
Rebound Health is proud to have developed the Long-COVID: Back to Health Program.
Designed by Exercise Physiologists.
The reality is that people’s experiences with Long-COVID can differ significantly.
That’s why we need to create programs that are sensitive to the needs of the individual.
And programs that are adjusted when people are ready, not by a set timeline.
Program Schedule
Book Your Assessment: Give us a call to chat and we’ll set you up with an appropriately qualified and experienced practitioner.
Complete Your Assessment: During your assessment, we’ll discuss how Long-COVID is affecting you, and work through a range of research-based assessments to determine if exercise is right for you (because sometimes we might need to wait a little while before starting).
Receive Management Plan: You will receive a Management Plan from your assessing Practitioner. This plan will explain your individualized program, schedule of recommendations and outline your options moving forward.
Delivery Method: In order to help people across Australia with Long-COVID, this program can be delivered in person (at our clinic on the Northern Beaches of Sydney), or via Telehealth.
If you're among the many individuals struggling with long-term symptoms following COVID-19, you're not alone. Research has shown that exercise can be a powerful tool in managing the physical and emotional challenges that Long-COVID presents.
Our program is led by experienced Exercise Physiologists who have developed a specialized exercise regimen to address the unique needs of those dealing with Long-COVID. With our guidance and support, you can begin to rebuild your strength, stamina, and overall health.

Improved physical and mental health: Exercise has been shown to have a wide range of benefits, from improving cardiovascular health to reducing anxiety and depression. By participating in our program, you'll not only be working towards improving your physical health but also your mental wellbeing.
