Jackie is joined by Robin McNelis (Robin the Physio), a cardio‑respiratory physio and Long Covid specialist, who went from running marathons and leading hospital services to his own Long Covid recovery journey.
In this episode:
What happens when all your tests are “normal” but you’re clearly not.
Robin’s role as a “holistic detective” for complex breathing, fatigue and Long Covid cases.
How ideas from elite sport and marginal gains translate to people just trying to shower or get to the bathroom without crashing.
The reality of post‑Covid personal bests and why “small” wins matter.
A practical, compassionate look at pacing across physical, cognitive, emotional and social exertion, using the FITT principles.
Real‑life stories of patients reclaiming reading, hobbies and daily life through tiny, well‑timed adjustments.
This is Part 1 of the conversation - tune in next week for more on pacing, heart rate, breathing, and tools to support recovery.
