Results: A highly significant diffriences was found between the two groups as regards the mean score of knowledge after the intervention (p= 0.000).  Also, highly Significant statistical differences were found   in the mean scores of CFS, the dyspnea scale and TSK-11 in favor of the study group when comparing the results of the two groups at three weeks and at six weeks after the intervention (p value < 0.001).  Conclusion: The study has concluded that implementing multidisciplinary rehabilitative interventions have a significant role in lowering fatigue, dyspnea and kinesiophobia post-COVID-19.
