Loss of strength and signals in Trunk of the Body

I have found simple basic stretching and some QiGong moves (body bouncing with arms loose and feet on the floor, or swinging arms loose in simple turns from the waist) daily has helped me regain posture and core strength. Key is not doing a lot of them - I can’t having post-exertion malaise (pem) and POTS post Covid. But do them daily and add a few more moves slowly over time. The belly bulge sadly is probably from the disregulated cortisol in our bodies. My thoughts are with all long Covid suffers. How we all need a cure!!!

Thankyou so much for responding.I am starting pt next week.I lost so much weight at the beginning of my illness,but now I have too much weight on me because of lack of exercise because of pain.It is very frustrating.I went from walking about 7 miles every day on the trail to barely being able to walk now.When I walk it looks like I have a hotrible case of scoliosis because I don't have the core strength in the body or in the neck.My head feels like a bobblehead.The spinal surgeon found a few things with my spine and neck,but nothing major or to have surgery for.He told me he has never seen a case like mine where pretty much the muscles and nerves are not felt from the trunk.I believe that covid hides from conventional tests which makes it so hard because doctors are not seeing anything.
