the University of Utah Health ECHO present:

Long COVID & Post-Viral Syndromes

When Exercise Doesn't Help

Bateman Horne Center and the University of Utah Health ECHO teams join forces once again to provide a case-based learning series illuminating strategies for assessment and management of Long COVID (PASC), ME/CFS, and related comorbid conditions.

Occupational therapist, Amy Mooney, MS, OTR/L, and physical therapist, Clayton Powers, DPT address the importance of screening for PEM and redefine "exercise" in patients with PEM/PESE.


Amy Mooney with the Bateman Horne Center developed educational material for Rehab Professionals

Bateman Horne Center: Rehab Professionals

Occupational & Physical Therapy for Patients with PEM/PESE

These education videos aim to equip rehabilitation professionals on how to assess and safely manage patients with PEM/PESE. OT & PE for patients with PEM/PESE video series

This video series was developed for physical and occupational therapists to highlight the process of identifying post-exertional malaise/post-exertional symptom exacerbation (PEM/PESE) to provide insight into therapeutic approaches.

These short video segments will include topics intended to inform therapists who are not familiar with pacing, resting, and symptom management guidelines.

We hope this series will introduce principles of ME/CFS and Long COVID care that encourage healthcare professionals to continue advancing their knowledge about PEM/PESE.
