| Yep Friend, you heard that right…
So, here's the story .... I’ve been writing to you these last several weeks about all of the changes we've made to our services to accommodate people staying home - including our tele-health services for PT.
Well, you'll never guess what happened on Friday…
We were doing a Zoom session with one of our clients (we'll call her Susie, and we have her permission to share this) to help her with back pain. Initially, she was going to wait until it was safe to go outside again, and thought she would be fine just doing all of the exercises we gave her from her last appointment…
Well... after being at home for the last 4+ weeks now, off her routine, and sitting far more than she normally does - Susie's back pain kicked up (no surprises there) and the exercises weren't enough to get her out of pain.
So we hopped on a Zoom call - right from her iPad - and she was sitting at the kitchen table - in her wooden chair - asking us some questions about her sitting posture - and about to show us where her pain was…
And then…
There goes Susie's husband... in the background.. wearing nothing but his boxers and holding a cup of coffee!
Whoops!!
We all kind of realized it at the same time - he quickly got out of the view - and we all had a really good laugh. To be honest, it felt REALLY good to all laugh like that together.
For a moment - we all forgot there was a pandemic going on around us.
Oh - and yes - her back pain was much better after her session - and we scheduled a follow up for next week.
In case you're wondering, Susie was quite resistant to the idea of tele-health at first - aka - doing her PT over video…
"How could it possibly be the same?" "I don't have the right set-up at home." "I'm not good with technology."
This is what we've been hearing from most people when we first mention that we can do tele-health with them.
Well... after Susie's first session... even with the cameo from her husband... she was SO happy, and quite surprised, at how effective the session was!
Other than being able to pet Candy and give her a usual weekly treat... She said it was like being there in person with us!
See, online PT really does work.... And we're so thankful to be able to provide this solution to you right now.
If you're unable to work out the way you normally do, and find yourself completely off your routine - unsure about what to do when new pains develop during this quarantine situation - let us help you!
We can talk about it from the comfort of your own home and get you some real help - just like we did with Susie.
If you’d like to book a session with us, all you have to do are these two things:
1. Simply reply back to this email to tell me you want a session.
2. Make sure your husband (or wife) is wearing their clothes, please.
Regardless of whether or not you are considering tele-health, thank you for all the emails / calls letting me know how you and your family are doing. Please let me know how you are doing if you haven’t reached out yet. I've been thinking of every single one of you.
Also, in case you missed my email on Thursday, I just released the Quarantine Spine Survival Guide. It can be accessed by clicking HERE. If you have any trouble accessing the course, please let me know.
This 5-day, online video course is designed for those working from home, or spending more time sitting than usual. It includes helpful tips to keep your spine healthy and mobile during the quarantine.
