HAVE YOU MET YOUR ANNUAL INSURANCE DEDUCTIBLE?
An insurance deductible is the amount of money that you must pay before your insurance company pays for your medical services. If your deductible is met, your Physical Therapy may not cost you anything. Patients with family plans or those who have had major surgeries or have a chronic illness are especially likely to have a $0 balance remaining on their out-of-pocket expenses. This means that the cost of physical therapy could be minimal or completely covered by the patient’s insurance plan. If you are close to or have met your insurance deductible for the year, then now is the time to come in for Physical Therapy! Are you feeling aches and pains? Need to work on your core? Let us help you get a head start for 2020. Contact us today to schedule your appointment.

There is one fundamental rule of the human body: it was made to move! Do you feel sluggish or fatigued, as if it’s difficult to motivate yourself to get moving? Do your sore muscles or achy joints just add to that lack of motivation? If so, your body may be experiencing some physical problems. Living a sedentary life is one of the main reasons why people report having low energy or feeling chronic day-to-day aches. Long car commutes, desk jobs, watching T.V. once you get home from work… many people live their lives this way, with very little physical activity. While it may not seem like it is making an impact at the time, this type of sedentary lifestyle can damage your body over time. Contact Eastern Shore Physical Therapy today to figure out how a consistent exercise plan can increase your energy and help you live a healthier life! Why is physical activity so important? Whenyoudon’tparticipate in frequentphysicalactivity,yourmusclesbegin to weaken and over time they can even begin to atrophy. Inactive lifestyles also cause joints to become stiff and can alter the physiological chemical
processeswithinyourbody. In fact,yourcirculationand lymphaticsystems can slow down, which can pose harmful risks. These systems work in producing and excreting toxic wastes (such as cholesterol) and these wastes can build up when the systems aren’t functioning as efficiently as they should. Lack of movement and poor posture are the causes of several types of pain, including lower back pain, neck pain, hip pain, knee pain, shoulder pain, and headaches. A slumped posture can even change the shape of your spine over time, in addition to closing your shoulder joints and tightening up the tissues around your hips. These consequences can cause severe pain and may result in a host of other problems if lifestyle changes are not made. How can I get moving? There are several reasons why people may not want to participate in physical activity. Perhaps your body simply doesn’t move the way it used to, or perhaps painful areas of your body make it difficult to move in the ways you’d like. Whatever the case may be, the truth is that restriction in movement has the potential to lead to harmful health problems.

Staff Success Spotlight
“I am a PTA and have had the privilege of working at Eastern Shore Physical Therapy for over 13 years. Since coming to ESPT, I have learned a lot, such as “thinking outside the box”. Both Martin and Kathleen have helped me evolve as a therapist. They taught me that not every patient’s diagnosis is a “cookie cutter” diagnosis. Working at Eastern Shore PhysicalTherapy is fun. I enjoy the camaraderie of everyone that works at ESPT. All of us work together to provide a warm, welcoming environment for the patients. It is like working with family! Overall I can’t think of a better place to work.
