Is It Safe for Us to Remain Open? The U.S. Department of Homeland Security released a memorandum on the identification of essential critical infrastructure workers during the Covid-19 response. Physical therapy has been identified as an essential part of our health care system, and it states that we as a health providers have “a duty” to remain an available health care service. “Physical therapists are essential in flattening the curve of the COVID-19 pandemic. They play a key role in keeping people they can help out of doctors’ offices and ER’s. This will not only free up the medical teams to treat those impacted by COVID-19, but also limit the exposure of those seeking the care of the physical therapist.” says Dr. Matos, an official with CDC on the need forphysical therapists during this crisis. The Staff at PTRS believes we are an available resource to the community.
