Movement and activity

For some people, gentle movement can help with stiffness, circulation and managing pain. This might include light stretching, short walks, or mobility exercises.

But with Long Covid, it’s important to go at your own pace:

• Start small and build slowly

• Stop or reduce if you notice a flare later

• If you experience PEM, be cautious with any plan that steadily increases exercise, as this can lead to setbacks. Pacing and energy management are often a safer starting point.
