What is Long Haul Covid?
Long haul Covid is a post-Covid condition. It can include a wide range of new, returning, or ongoing health problems. These can happen weeks or months after the first symptoms of Covid appear. What’s even more unique is the symptoms vary from person to person.
Covid affects everyone so differently. While some people have very mild symptoms that last for a short period of time, some of those same people may experience symptoms for months. In our research we found that long haul Covid is a common issue, and many Covid survivors of both mild, moderate, and severe disease can still have at least one symptom after 12 weeks.
Some of these symptoms include loss of taste and smell, joint pain, muscle pain, fatigue, depression, brain fog, and other worsened symptoms.

A hot tub can help patients reduce stress, relax, enjoy a hydrotherapy massage, all while improving their quality of life.People have used hot tubs for centuries for stress, pain, better sleep, and so much more. Hot tub hydrotherapy can help with both joint pain and inflammation caused by Covid.
