HANDS-ON 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 InfrastructureWorkers” during the COVID-19 pandemic. Because of this, Hands-On Physical Therapy will offer TelePT services to patients during this time. 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.” For more information on our TelePT services during this pandemic, and/or how your appointments might function differently, don’t hesitate to contact us. Our goal is to start or continue to assist you with your health and treatment goals. Our qualified and trusting staff and their professional knowledge & abilities are available and ready to communicate with you via phone/video call.
