Her interest in Long COVID was piqued early in the pandemic when reports indicated that a significant number of COVID-19 survivors developed signs and symptoms of dysautonomia. Dr. Lewan\u2019s clinical practice has focused on dysautonomia since 2017, when she publicly disclosed her own diagnosis of Postural Orthopedic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS,) a type of dysautonomia that has a variety of triggers, including COVID-19. To prepare for this course and the cases she sees with Long COVID\/Long COVID POTS, Dr. Lewan he has completed multiple CE courses on Long COVID, components of the APTA\u2019s extensive Post-Acute Covid-19 Exercise and Rehabilitation (PACER) project, NIH webinars and independent research. She is committed to developing resources that are evidence-informed and meet the biopsychosocial needs of those living with persistent symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Explore upcoming continuing education courses from Catherine below:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/summit-education.com\/course\/GYPICL.2\">Therapeutic Exercise Using Yoga and Pilates to Safely Challenge Older Adults<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/summit-education.com\/course\/PHYPCL.1.2CREDIT\">Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/summit-education.com\/course\/POTSCL.1.2CREDIT\">Post-COVID-19 Syndrome<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/summit-education.com\/course\/PINCCL.1.2CREDIT\">Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation Update<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/summit-education.com\/course\/PELVCL.1\">Functional Pelvic Floor Training for Weakness, Pain, and Dysfunction in Men, Women, and Older Adults<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"merch-shelf\" class=\"style-scope ytd-watch-flexy\">Visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.summit-education.com\/ce\">summit-education.com<\/a> for more information.<\/div>\n<div id=\"header\" class=\"style-scope ytd-item-section-renderer\">\n<div id=\"title\" class=\"style-scope ytd-comments-header-renderer\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Presented By: Dr. Catherine Lewan, DPT, CYT &nbsp; &nbsp; While our understanding of Long COVID is evolving, current data suggest that many of the persistent symptoms of COVID-19 may be explained by upregulated or sensitized neuroimmune function.
