Our Approach to Reduce

Long COVID Symptoms

Why - COVID impacts people

Why COVID and Long COVID impacts your body the way it does, drawing on research and evidence to inform our understanding. We summarize key findings and up-to-date analyses and share them with you.

What - needs to happen to manage symptoms

Use evidence to outline what can be done to help your body manage issues created by Long COVID.

How - simple and practicable

Share specific step-by-step guidance about actions, movements and tools that you can use to feel better.

What makes ThriveNinety different?

The first step of our approach is to use research and knowledge about Long COVID In the second step, we are looking for a deeper understanding of what is needed to support the body and brain based on the research. We then translate that into a set of clear and simple actions that you can use to manage Long COVID symptoms.

This is not about a rigid plan where every detail must be followed to the letter. This is about offering structure and knowledge that lets people discover which elements provide the highest impact and support them to feel better. We do this by sharing research and information; providing guidance; and offering programs that take things one step at a time - sharing movements, activities, tips and self assessments. People we work with walk away with a new set of evidence-based tools they can use to help manage Long COVID symptoms.

Designed to support specific needs of those with Long COVID:

Web-based, so there is no need for travel or physical exposure to others
Structured approach that takes one step at a time
Content that is easy for any ability level

Including an assessment process to understand abilities and tailor elements

To the Programs

How do we know where to start?

We have a robust initial assessment that incorporates respected questionnaire and vetting processes, and we include a few additional elements that we have found to be important. This allows us to tailor content to your current ability levels, so participants can operate in a space that is safe while still making progress.

"I am so grateful I had the opportunity to connect with Katie and Andrea. They calmly guided me through the steps to take and pointed out the ones to avoid. I feel very understood and safe, and I felt better with week one. I am very motivated, taking it one step at a time."
