An insiders perspective to Long COVID, the nervous system, and evidence-based rehabilitation modalities. A must read for patients and providers. -- Josh Duntz, CEO Stasis A must read, a book that I can 100% resonate with as a fellow LC sufferer. To anyone suffering with this debilitating illness or to family, friends and health care professionals to whom you will gain a greater insight to the life changing effects of the illness and will no longer feel alone on this journey. Thank you for raising much needed awareness to this frustratingly new illness. Wishing all LC sufferers answers and more poignantly health and recovery. -- Llinos Evans
