This program is for people living with the aftermath of Covid-19 who want to return to normal daily life, but have difficulty doing so independently.
It is the persistence of symptoms, or even the appearance of symptoms, four to eight weeks after the initial infection. The incidence and course depend on the time since infection, the systems and tissues affected, vaccination status, virus variant, and geographic region.
It is estimated that more than half of those infected with COVID-19 experienced symptoms associated with long Covid. The most common discomforts are functional mobility disorders, pulmonary abnormalities, and psychological health disorders.
Most common symptoms:
Post-exertional malaise (PEM): Symptoms can appear up to 3 days after an activity performed beyond one's capabilities. This phenomenon is not well known in practice and makes self-management extremely difficult.
What do we have control over? Our routine.
And what do we miss? The method to progress slowly and find a quality of life.
The most "up-to-date" scientific literature indicates that the clinical management of long-term Covid requires a comprehensive perspective, including management tools such as virtual rehabilitation platforms.
These findings suggest that long Covid is a multisystem disease, with high short- and long-term prevalence. Moving forward, a holistic framework for addressing the direct and indirect effects of sequelae should be considered.
For this reason, the Wellow team has developed a simple, online program that offers concrete and immediately applicable tools.
Returning to work will not be directly addressed in this first part, but the shared tools can very well be used if you are making a return to work.
Be in your zone of genius, keep a flexible mindset, improve your quality of life and build, in the long term, a life insurance.
With this program Put chaos to the long Covid, you will feel the effects from the first days, but these will be the most difficult days. The margin of progress is therefore important and a monthly calendar is offered to you rather than a daily one in order to help you take a step back and see the big picture. Thanks to the proposed exercises, you will build a stable routine, and if there are still difficulties, you will know what is affecting you. Don't hesitate to use these tools with your health professionals.
In the long run, you will notice a real change, thanks to an understanding of the elements that affect you VS those that affect you less.
That's what all our programs are about: getting to know you better so that you can be autonomous in your fitness and well-being.

Alyssa has a Master's in linguistics-language teaching and has experienced the positive impacts of wellness practices and enjoying the simple things like taking walks in nature and spending time with her dog.
Engaged in constant evolution and driven by the desire to enhance our quality of life (integrating personal and professional life without feeling the need to lead two separate lives in parallel), I am currently studying at Harvard in the Organizational Behavior certificate program. My academic journey reflects a diversity of enriching experiences.
I also pursued a Bachelor's degree in Nursing, broadening my horizons with a Bachelor's degree in Biology from the University of Sherbrooke. My quest for in-depth understanding then led me to a Master's degree in Occupational Therapy at UQTR, where I honed my skills in this specialized field.
In the course of my practice, I specialized in psychological health occupational therapy, working as an analyst of psychosocial risks in the workplace, and conducting job assessments (ensuring alignment between individuals' functional restrictions, their ability to perform their work, and the specific requirements of their positions).
My professional approach is grounded in fundamental values such as excellence, rigor, and the continuous update of my knowledge. The consideration of a human perspective is the cornerstone of my approach, with a deep conviction that each individual deserves a holistic approach to reach their full potential.
My commitment to continuous professional development is reflected in a prioritization of learning and the practical application of acquired knowledge. My ultimate goal is to contribute positively to society's work-life balance by providing tailored solutions and fostering a fulfilling work environment.
Finally, I serve as a tutor at the University of Sherbrooke in occupational therapy for courses in Psychological Sciences, Biological Sciences, and Entrepreneurship. The students' perspectives are always refreshing!
