TELEHEALTH: SERVING PATIENTS IN THESE TROUBLING TIMES Hi there, We all at Marathon Physical Therapy hope that you and your family are doing okay through this very difficult and unpredictable time. We hope that everyone is healthy and safe. Please see our tips for COVID-19 prevention and common signs and symptoms to watch out for below.* Please know that we are thinking of you. We know that social distancing can be a very tough thing. Please try and do things out of the norm to help keep yourselves engaged and prevent boredom at home. Some suggestions include puzzles, book reading, meditation using an app on your phone, coloring, board games, collaging, cooking/baking, writing, etc. This could also be a good time to catch up on home projects. Please note that as of now, we had to make the difficult decision to shut our doors and temporarily close our office. We have done so to ensure the safety of our patients and staff. However, even though we are closed, we still want you to know that we are here for you. We understand that you still need our services and have started offering Telehealth and expanding our at home physical therapy service. We encourage you to let us know if you are interested in either option. What is Telehealth? Telehealth is a live physical therapy visit over the phone with a video setting. I will be able to see and you and you will be able to see me. I can still assess your mobility and determine what the cause of your pain is, and then to teach you how you can take care of it at home.
The two most important things for us at Marathon Physical Therapy are: 1. To make sure that your current problem does not get worse, and 2. That you are not in severe pain The approximate time for a Telehealth visit can range from 5 minutes to 1 hour. You will need either your smartphone or your computer, and an open area in your home. The cost of it depends on whether or not your insurance will cover it. We will do our best to provide you with that information since most of the insurances are updating their coverage policies in the aftermath of the COVID-19 outbreak. What conditions can Telehealth help with?
• Fibromyalgia • Knee pain • Shoulder pain • Neck pain • Ankle/foot pain • Balance difficulties
• Arthritis pain • Back pain • Headaches/migraines • Post-surgical rehab • Sports injuries
If you are doing okay in the meantime and would like a “check in” call from one of our physical therapists, that is okay too. We are here for you. The last thing we want is to abandon you and your care because of what is going on in the world. If you need any home exercises updated, please let us know. We would be happy to do so. Please also reach out to us if you have any questions. In summary, you can reach out to us anytime to: Say “hi”, ask any questions, request home exercises, request at home physical therapy, or request telehealth services. Above all, we hope that you are staying at home and keeping yourself healthy. We will all get through this together. Kind Regards, Dr. Negin & The Marathon Physical Therapy Team
