Many people use relaxation techniques to resolve the internal restlessness and tension that can often occur in the context of illness. There are many different options, such as yoga, progressive muscle relaxation, autogenic training and breathing or mindfulness exercises.

As an introduction to relaxation techniques you can watch online video tutorials. Try out different methods. See what you like best and what does you good. Sports clubs and adult education classes (Volkshochschule) offer suitable courses.

Ask your doctor about these and other ways to support your treatment. Ask his or her advice and find out which procedures you could use.

You may want to talk to other people who have been similarly affected. COVID-19 self-help groups have been established in many towns during the pandemic. They offer an opportunity for people to connect and share their experiences.
