DR. TODD DAVENPORT | Post Exercise & Chronic Fatigue
*Exploring Chronic Fatigue, Long COVID, and Pelvic Health with Dr. Todd Davenport*
In today’s episode, I sit down with Dr. Todd Davenport, Professor and Chair of the Department of Physical Therapy at the University of the Pacific. Dr. Davenport is also a scientific advisor to the Workwell Foundation and Chair of Long COVID Physio, where he focuses on understanding why some people don’t fully recover after illness.
We dive deep into chronic fatigue, long COVID, and the surprising impact on the pelvic floor. Dr. Davenport shares valuable insights on safe exercise after a COVID infection, recognizing signs that workouts may be harmful, and how to navigate chronic fatigue and chronic pain in relation to the pelvic floor.
*Topics discussed:*
Safe return to exercise after COVID-19
Signs workouts might be doing more harm than good
Where and how to seek support
Chronic fatigue and response to exertion
When “less is more” in recovery
ME/CFS and its relationship with long COVID
Challenges athletes face with healthcare providers
Join us to learn about balancing recovery with exercise, especially for those navigating chronic fatigue and post-viral symptoms.
