Long COVID can cause persistent fatigue, breathlessness, muscle weakness, pain, balance problems and reduced exercise tolerance. Symptoms may fluctuate from day to day and affect mobility and everyday functioning. The World Health Organization emphasises individually tailored rehabilitation and symptom-guided management.
Power Plate training uses whole-body vibration to activate the neuromuscular system. Training can be performed in short, individually adjusted sessions and, when needed, in supported positions. It can help strengthen the lower limbs, improve balance and support everyday mobility without requiring prolonged continuous exercise.
A randomised clinical trial published in 2025 found that whole-body vibration exercise improved exercise capacity and muscle strength in people with Long COVID. Another randomised trial found that vibration training reduced the risk of falls in people experiencing post-COVID-19 symptoms.
Power Plate does not replace medical assessment or other Long COVID rehabilitation, but it is worth incorporating alongside them as individually tailored training that supports muscle strength, balance and functional capacity. During training, your symptom pattern, post-exertional symptom exacerbation (PESE), breathlessness, oxygen saturation, heart rate, orthostatic symptoms, fatigue and other medical conditions are all taken into account.
According to WHO guidance, exertional oxygen desaturation and possible cardiac impairment should be assessed before exercise training begins. If exertion causes delayed worsening of symptoms, training is based on careful load management and pacing.
Book an appointment for your individually tailored Power Plate training and safely support your muscle strength, balance and everyday functional capacity.
