Cardiorespiratory Physiotherapist working in private practice with a special interest in Breathing Pattern Disorders and Long Covid Recovery

[Todd Davenport @sunsopeningband]

Pacing isn’t curative but it’s a necessary skill for people living with energy limiting conditions. ME and ME-like conditions that are associated with known deficits in aerobic metabolism. Obviously I teach pacing and that’s centered on patients’ specific self-identified needs.

Daring to believe that I'm on some kind of route to #recovery from #LongCovid #PEM.

My raised 'Lactate Heartrate' from around 100bpm to c.138bpm, following months of careful #micropacing (HT @robinthephysio) should allow me to reintroduce some activities.

Just had a shower 😲🎉

[Dr Ben King 🌏 @benking01]

@useless_priest @visible_health @NuffieldHealth @robinthephysio My resting HR was 50-ish. Originally, back in May, my lactate threshold was around 110bpm, so I set alerts for 105bpm.

I used a treadmill to gradually increase my heartrate and to discover a gradually rising lactate threshold; it's now around 130bpm so I only get alerts at 127!

[Dr Ben King 🌏 @benking01]

@useless_priest @visible_health @NuffieldHealth @robinthephysio All from not over-exerting. Stopping moving and resting before my body produces lactic acid. It's working for me! I can go for days without hitting 127bpm.

A woman on Facebook recently told me that her latate threshold is now 140 bpm. This effectively allows 'normal' activity.

Well done!! A thing of beauty @benking01 So glad you found the YouTube I did with @BinitaKane so useful. You are part of our inspiration to produce further free to access resources in the New Year, watch this space 👍

[Dr Ben King 🌏 @benking01]

The @visible_health app. offers a downloadable summary Health Report.

Over this timescale it's clear to see a reduction in my symptoms and an overall improvement in my health.

Thanks to heartrate monitoring and, since September, the @NuffieldHealth #LongCovid Rehab. course.

Thank you Robin @robinthephysio

Pacing and micro-pacing have helped me enormously. And I had a shaved head at the start of all of this!
