What Can I Expect From a Telehealth Session? At The Training Room, each physical therapy telehealth session will depend on what is needed by you from your physical therapist. For new patients, there will be a 45-60 minute evaluation. Your physical therapist will ask questions about your injury/condition and will get a thorough history of what may be contributing to your symptoms. You will then be asked to go through various movements and actions so your physical therapist can evaluation your movement patterns and identify areas that need to be addressed. A large part of the first visit is education on how to reduce your pain/inflammation and make changes to your lifestyle to begin recovery for your injury/condition. A treatment plan will be discussed and a home program will be provided. Follow up visits will be approximately 30 minute appointments to assess symptoms and progress, perform and progress exercises, and advance activity. Exercises, education, modification of activity, progression home program and self- treatments will be explained and demonstrated. Lots can be done with just our eyes and ears! Have a question you need to ask your physical therapist? Looking for advice about your current condition? Want to track the progress you’ve been making? Telehealth makes all of this possible for you, while still ensuring that you are safely distancing at home! Please call us at 856-874-1166 if you are interested in getting started with physical therapy sessions via Telehealth.
Immunity boosting citrus fruits are known to be high in Vitamin C, but strawberries, pineapple, and mango are loaded too! One of the key functions of Vitamin C lies in its ability to increase the production of white blood cells, which are key to fighting infections. Spinach is rich in immunity boosting Vitamin C and is also packedwith numerous antioxidants and beta carotene. Studies show that these may increase the infection-fighting ability of our immune system. Yogurts that have “live and active cultures” printed on the label, whether Greek or regular, are also believed to stimulate the immune system, increase gut health, and help fight diseases. To accommodate those who are dairy-free, the milk and yogurt in this smoothie are interchangeable. Vitamin E is known to be instrumental in supporting a healthy immune system, and almonds are an excellent source. They also add protein, healthy fats, and a hint of creaminess and nutty flavor. Thosewho are allergic can skip it or choose a seed-based butter. Finally, for those who like a little extra sweetness, recent studies have shown that honey has some healing properties, andwe know it’s sweet!
