Hi everyone, I’m looking for some exercises for my 75 year old dad who suffered bad vax injury and needed a pacemaker as result. He is now thankfully being successfully treated by Dr Kory’s clinic and I cannot thank them enough, he is now on the road to recovery. Like many vax-injured patients he is dealing with micro-clotting and micro-coagulation issues.
Would anyone know of any good resource to find appropriate fitness exercises to do on a daily basis specifically designed to help covid-injured people?
We are training 5 days a week and are currently doing some low impact exercises and some light weights and sometimes I feel some exercises are still not appropriate such as bending down or exercises on all fours, even squats with arm lifts can be an issue . Some mat exercises such as leg lifts seem also a bit problematic. I’d like to insure our routines are 100% safe.
I’d love to find a resource or a trainer that could provide some guidance. Could anyone share their experience or know of any good resource/trainer?
Hi, I’d like to suggest that your dad try QiGong exercises. They are very gentle and have many good health effects. A certified instructor would know how to modify these exercises if necessary for your dad. From what I know about QiGong, I believe it would be generally applicable for helping folks suffering from any of a great variety of illnesses. For example, one of the ancient exercises focuses on lung and large intestine; another focuses on spleen and stomach; and there are others involving movements to help healing of heart and small intestine, of liver and gall bladder, of kidney and bladder, etc. They all encourage relaxation and a focus on breathing, movement, and mind intent. These exercises I am mentioning are part of a series called “The Basic 8.” There’s another set of exercises called “The Golden 8.”
QiGong is a self-healing martial art, the progenitor of Tai Chi.
The instructor I know lives in California, but he teaches an online (zoom) course. His name is Henry Jun Wah Lee, and he has a website. You will be able to find him on the web.
Thank you very much, Aaron! This is fantastic and incredibly helpful. I’m somewhat familiar with some Qigong sequences, including the 8 Brocades, and it now makes perfect sense to incorporate these kinds of exercises into his daily routine. I’ll do some research on the “Basic 8” and “Golden 8” sequences, thank you for suggesting these!! I’m excited to learn more about the instructor you’ve recommended. I’ll search for more information online. Your detailed response is greatly appreciated. Thank you again!
Hi, I don’t have Covid related HBP but over the last several years it has creeped up a bit. My integrative doc suggested I take BP Nat Relief from NatRelief.com. He told me to only take it a few times a week, that it was pretty powerful and that many people who take it can eventually go off of it at least for long stretches if not permanently. I bought some and was skeptical about it being powerful so I was a little lax in scheduling how often I took it. One day, after I had take maybe 3 in a row or several in a week I was feeling a little off. I sat down to take my BP and, sure enough, it was low - too low for me. Since then, I’m more respectful of its power and I take it 1-3 times a week. Never had a supplement give me such clear results. Everyone is different, it didn’t work for my husband but might work for you.
