I broke my wrist and developed Carpel and Cubital tunnel. I had gone to another facility and was not improving so I decided to govto Core. I was trying to avoid surgery, which is how it is usually treated. I am happy to say that I do not need surgery! Both of my issues have been resolved, and the nerves are healing with the therapy that I have received. I was never left to exercise on my own, my therapist was with me at all times. I highly recommend Core Physical Therapy.” - Theresa K.

COVID-19 AND PHYSICAL THERAPY KEEPING UP WITH YOUR PHYSICAL HEALTH

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic that has been causing numerous health care facilities to shut down, we as medical professionals are diligently trying to serve our patients in the best ways possible without risking the spread of this disease. The sedentary lifestyle that I’m sure many people have experienced since being quarantined to their homes can actually lead to more aches, pains, and discomfort than one may think. Fortunately, we have you covered. As some may know, the Department of Homeland Security has deemed physical therapists as “Essential Critical Infrastructure Workers” during the COVID-19 pandemic. Because of this, Core Physical Therapy will remain open and seeing patients during this time, while taking the necessary precautions to make sure everything is sanitary, and everyone is safe.

As Homeland Security states, “If you work in a critical infrastructure industry, as defined by the Department of Homeland Security, such as healthcare services and pharmaceutical and food supply, you have a special responsibility to maintain your normal work schedule.” PHYSICAL THERAPY IS STILL NECESSARY. Among other essential services, some of the most beneficial services we offer at Core Physical Therapy include: •Essential post-surgical care (for non- elective and elective surgery) •Critical post-neurological episode out- patient rehabilitation •Imperative gate keeper screening for patients, who may otherwise be unnecessarily entering emergent healthcare facilities
