Hello Friend,
This may be the 1647843th email you’ve received about the Coronavirus (COVID-19).... However, your safety and transparency of our response to these challenging times are a top concern for us.
Last week, we sent an email out regarding the specific actions we are taking to keep our clinic safe during your care. If you missed it, you can view it by clicking here.
Since opening Healthy Consumer Physical Therapy (HCPT), we have ALWAYS taken infection control measures very seriously. We will CONTINUE to do so, with increased diligence throughout the duration of this pandemic. Unlike a high-traffic location, such as a gym, HCPT is a controlled environment. Dr. Sovey has specialized training in infection control as a nurse.
NOTE: Please be patient and allow the last 5-10 minutes of your appointment to be reserved for proper sanitation. You will visibly SEE us wash our hands for 20 seconds before and after each session. If you do not see this, CALL US OUT on it. We will always practice what we preach.
If you are a patient (or family member) ... and you’d like to talk out (within reason) your fears or concerns, we’re happy to be a listening ear ….who can (to the best of our ability).... listen actively and provide a different viewpoint that you have not yet considered. Give us a call.
We are up to date on all the latest recommendations from our state and federal oversights, and…. As a healthcare provider ... Dr. Sovey can help you determine your risk level probably better than you can on your own. Being your advocate is why Dr. Sovey built his practice as he has.
Much like driving your car, the risk is never zero. The benefit of continuing your therapy or wellness routine will outweigh your risk in almost all cases... we will only know if we have an open conversation…. And, what may be worse than worrying about the Coronavirus… is being isolated for a month while still dealing with your back, neck, shoulder, or hip pain that you’ve put off for so long. So, we will likely want to get your appointments scheduled soon in case of a mandated public quarantine.
Please also understand that, unlike many other clinics, we have the advantage of being a low-traffic destination, since we specialize in 1-on-1 care. With all the steps in place to reduce the chance of infection, your risk of becoming infected is much higher going to the grocery store than your therapy appointments at HCPT.
Know this: We’re here for you… We know this is a scary time for some… and this too will pass. If you want to talk, let’s set up a time to talk about your concerns.
If you have other concerns about your safety during this time period, you may also qualify for a remote virtual visit, without losing progress towards your goals. If this is something you’d prefer, or would like to see if you qualify, please let us know.
Virtual Visit Benefits:
- Your PT gets a front line view of how you are doing any activity at home that may be aggravating your symptoms.
- Guidance for how to do your favorite hobbies with good positioning (gardening, running, tennis, golf).
- Ramp up your exercise program to help maintain your consistency and improve your health.
- Optimize the use of your equipment/props at home for building new self care habits/a home exercise program and fine tuning your form at home.
Stay tuned for additional updates. |
