Long Covid Therapy in Frankfurt – Gradual Progression, Regaining Resilience
Long Covid can significantly alter your daily life: exertion quickly becomes overwhelming, energy levels are hard to plan for, and even familiar routines suddenly feel exhausting. At our practice in Frankfurt, we support you with a calm, measured approach to physiotherapy – helping you find your bearings and regain a more reliable ability to move.
The Method
Physiotherapy for Long Covid means we help you rebuild your stamina, body awareness, and ability to manage daily activities – at a pace suited to your current condition. The focus is on providing guidance, carefully managing exertion levels, and using exercises that are practical for everyday life.
How we work
A typical approach combines analysis, targeted guidance, and active, easily scheduled components – which may include breathing exercises, light strength and movement activities, and energy management (pacing) strategies, depending on individual needs.
Typical goals of Long Covid Therapy
Better assess exertion and manage it in a way that fits into daily life, make physical activity easier to plan, support breathing and regulation, and gradually build stability and coordination.

How we support you
Long Covid therapy focuses on a safe, gradual return to activity. We carefully assess what is currently manageable – and what is still too much.
Manage workload
Pacing, breaks, and sensible progression – to allow for energy management without repeatedly falling into a state of exhaustion.
Movement can be planned again
Walking, stairs, everyday activities – gradually and within a framework that feels safe.
Respiration & Regulation
Breathing training as a building block – for posture, breathing, and regulation, tailored to the current stage.
Body Awareness & Stability
Posture, core stability, and coordination – build these up in a targeted and measured way, without overexertion.
Develop routines
Exercises and strategies you can implement yourself between appointments – brief, manageable, and practical for everyday life.
Follow-up (if stable)
As physical resilience increases, we support the transition to training and prevention.

We develop a framework for managing your energy, scheduling breaks, and making progress predictable.
Step 3 | Transfer to Daily Life & Routine

A calm, personalized approach that integrates energy management (pacing), movement, and regulation – featuring clear, practical steps for everyday life.

Pacing means planning energy expenditure and activity levels to avoid overexertion as much as possible – through sensible breaks, prioritization, and small, realistic increases.

Breathing-related exercises can be a helpful component. For us, this means exercises for posture, breathing, and regulation – tailored to your current level.

Yes – provided the training structure suits your current level and is increased in a planned manner. We start at a steady pace and determine together what is possible next.
What if I experience severe exhaustion (fatigue)?
In that case, a particularly cautious start is important. We align our approach with your daily routine and focus on guidance and stabilization – not pressure.
How long does rehabilitation for Long Covid take?
That varies greatly from person to person. We work in stages, assessing the next logical step from one appointment to the next.

If available: referral/prescription, relevant test results, and comfortable clothing. Note: As some people are sensitive to scents, we ask that you refrain from wearing strong perfume. Please feel free to contact us if you are unsure.
