Redmond Outpatient Rehabilitation
Clinics offer new post-COVID19
rehabilitation program.
Redmond Outpatient Rehab Center has launched
a new program to help individuals struggling to
bounce back after battling COVID-19. This new
research-based program is specifically designed
to help those who are struggling to regain their
prior level of functioning due to weakness and/or
difficulty breathing after otherwise recovering
from COVID-19.
A team of dedicated, licensed therapists at
Redmond Outpatient Rehab completed extensive
literature research to develop this comprehensive
program. The well-balanced rehabilitation program
includes a variety of basic components including
closely monitored exercise, upper and lower body
strengthening, breathing exercises, and balance
training as needed. While the overall program
has been developed with specific parameters for
rehabilitation after COVID-19, each program
pathway is individually tailored to the specific
needs of each patient, all under the direct guidance
and one-on-one instruction of a licensed therapist.
With support from local physicians, the team at
Redmond Outpatient Rehab is already treating
residents through this new program and seeing
these individuals make significant improvements
in their functional abilities.
Entry into the program does require a physician
referral. To be considered for the program,
individuals must be candidates for general outpatient
rehab such as being able to safely get in and out
of their home, car, and the clinic. Additionally,
candidates for this new post-COVID 19 outpatient
rehab program must meet basic inclusion criteria
regarding fever-free and at least 10 -20 days from
onset of COVID-19, as well as meet parameters for
resting oxygen levels, breathing rate, heart rate, and
blood pressure.
If you or someone you know are struggling to
fully recover after battling COVID-19, call either
the Rome (706-236-1911) or Cedartown
(770-749-8561) clinics for more information
or to make an appointment.
