Lanserhof, one of Europe’s most modern medical respots has created a programme specifically for guests who were ill with Covid-19, are experiencing long-covid or who feel generally weak and would like to regain strength. The aim of the concept is to promote health and strengthen the immune system in the long term. While long covid clinics are opening across the UK, this is the first of its kind in the beauty industry.

What is long-covid?

Long Covid is a term to describe the effects of Covid-19 that continue for weeks or months beyond the initial illness. The health watchdog NICE defines long Covid as lasting for more than 12 weeks, although some other people consider symptoms that last more than eight weeks to be long Covid.

More details of how many people are affected by long Covid are still emerging, but research suggests around one in five people who test positive for Covid-19 have symptoms for five weeks or longer. For around one in ten people, they last 12 weeks or longer.

Lasting symptoms of coronavirus can include:

  • fatigue

  • breathlessness

  • anxiety and depression

  • palpitations

  • chest pains

  • joint or muscle pain

  • not being able to think straight or focus (‘brain fog’)

The programme involves a comprehensive diagnosis which informs an individual therapy concept tailored to guests’ needs.

Lanserhof will begin by addressing whether guests have had COVID-19 or another viral disease and then proceed to assess guests’ immune system, internal organs, sleep activity, psyche and physical and mental fitness.

Lanserhof’s team of physicians will use a variety of modern medical tests such as cardiovascular diagnostics, microbiological samples, ultrasound and a pulmonary function test, in order to assess participants’ overall health status.

Following this testing, each guest will receive an individually adapted therapy course.

The prescribed therapy options include nutritional therapeutic measures, a bowel cleansing, IV infusions, lymph treatments, healing and connective tissue massages, respiratory therapy and mitochondrial therapy, as well as oxygen therapy, cryotherapy, and sports science consultations and support.
