Patient Success Story
Marathon Physical Therapy is Still Serving You During this Difficult Time
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, Marathon Physical Therapy will offer telehealth during this time. For more information on our safety practices for treating patients during this pandemic, and/or how your appointments might function differently, don’t hesitate to contact us. Physical therapy is still necessary. Among other essential services, some of the most beneficial services we offer at Marathon Physical Therapy include telehealth services. Telehealth sessions are performed by your physical therapist. They will be able to continue your personalized PT treatments, so you do not lose all the progress you’ve made. Take advantage of our telehealth services. These services allow you to receive your treatment plans and exercises at home. At Marathon Physical Therapy, we know we have an obligation to our community, now more than ever. Physical therapy can not only help the body heal as quickly as possible, but it can also help combat illness. The individualized stretches and exercises we prescribe for your treatment plan are great ways to boost your immune system. When your body is in shape, it quite literally has more strength to fight off unwanted viruses. Aiming for at least 20-30 minutes of physical activity a day can help strengthen not only you but your immune system as well. Additionally, our physical therapists can help with nutritional services, which can prove to be a difficult task for many when distancing at home. Having a diet that is heavy on fruits and vegetables is perhaps one of the best ways to boost your immune system. The essential vitamins found in many fruits and vegetables are key to making sure your immune system is as healthy as possible. Consult with a physical therapist today. For anything you may need or any questions you may have, our physical therapists are here for you. Schedule a consultation with Marathon Physical Therapy today to discuss your questions, concerns, and needs at this time. Would you like us to design a personalized video of exercises or a video tutorial of pain relief strategies for your problem? If so, please call and let us know.
