Magnolia_Did You Know? Physical Therapy Is Essential

YOUR PHYSICAL HEALTH IS STILL IMPORTANT

Did you know that throughout the COVID crisis we have been able to continue to care for our patients either in our clinics under strict CDC guidelines or via TelePT where patients received treatment in the comfort of their home?

As some may know, the Department of Homeland Security has deemed physical therapists as “Essential Critical Infrastructure Workers” during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In fact, Dr. Matos, who is an official with the Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center, Department of Defense Global Emerging Infections Surveillance and Response System, and the CDC has these words to share about physical therapy:

“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.”
