There's something a bit weird about this article. I totally buy post-viral fatigue syndrome, and that there's certainly a possibility of it occurring post COVID-19, particularly since it is a virus. But alarm bells started ringing with the description of the lymphatic drainage, and the way the examination section is written is odd. You don't find mid thoracic spine inflammation on examination - an MRI would be used for that. They mention a conflict of interest in that the treatment for this condition is some kind of lymphatic drainage and is a technique devised by one of the authors. That author is an osteopath not a medical doctor. That in itself would not mean I'd automatically discount research, but as others have mentioned it really is n of 1, and I'd be surprised if these clinical signs and techniques have been validated in any large trial.
