📣 BIG NEWS! My latest Long COVID research is published! 📣
This one is deeply personal. I’m incredibly proud to announce my latest paper, “A Mixed-Methods Evaluation of a Post-COVID-Condition Rehabilitation and Recovery Intervention,” is published and open access!
As the Founder of Ignite Health and wellbeing this work is at the very core of our mission. It represents four years of dedicated work, and I’m so proud to get it over the line after a challenging year.
We wanted to answer a huge question: Can a community-based exercise program make a real difference for Long COVID?
WHAT WE DID:
We partnered with a football club community trust to deliver a 12-week exercise rehab program.
WHAT WE FOUND (THE GOOD NEWS!):
The program was a huge success. Participants saw significant, lasting improvements in:
⬆️ Physical Function (Better 6-min walk)
⬆️ Lung Function
⬆️ Quality of Life (Massively improved!)
⬇️ Anxiety & Depression
⬆️ Confidence & Self-Efficacy
THE TAKEAWAY:
Supportive, community-based exercise programs are a powerful and effective model for Long COVID recovery.
This work means the world to me!
The full paper is open access for everyone to read!
