SERVING PATIENTS DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

What is telehealth? You may be wondering what exactly telehealth is. Essentially, it is a way for us tomake sure that our patients are still receiving the highest possible quality of care they need from a remote location. Telehealth services can be accessed by your smart phone, computer, or tablet, and you will be able to perform your Physical Therapy treatments from the comfort of your own home. You will also be able to see how you are improving throughout your treatments – without coming directly to our clinic. At any point you can also call us to ask to get in touch with one of our Elite Physical Therapists to ask questions or get advice about your condition. There are numerous conditions that can still be treated and improved through telehealth virtual Physical Therapy including, but not limited to: • Arthritis pain • Back pain • Headaches/migraines • Post-surgical rehab • And much more

On behalf of all of us at Elite Physical Therapy, we want to check in to make sure that you are ok. We sincerely wish you and your family well during this extraordinary time. In light of COVID-19, we as essential medical professionals are diligently continuing to serve our Patients in the best ways possible safely. We care about each Patient and truly value our relationship. Thank you for your trust in us. That is why Elite Physical Therapy has added Telehealth Virtual Physical Therapy as an alternative option for Physical Therapy at this time. Although not in person one to one, providing care for our Patients virtually still enables the Patient to have social interaction with an Elite Physical Therapist to manage their physical health, and prevent their condition fromworsening. For more information on our telehealth services and how they may benefit you, please call us today at (401) 737-4581, or visit us at www.elitephysicaltherapy.com and request an appointment.

“I amfinishingupwithmy ElitePhysical Therapist for treatment after a severe concussion. I have been treated by Elite Physical Therapy three times before, pre and post hip replacement, so when I needed to return I knew exactly where to go! What I needed post-concussion was to rebuild my confidence and strength in order to return to the gym. I knew that Elite would help me with this and I have

regained my strength and determination. My Elite Physical Therapist was supportive and caring. He listened to my concerns and answered my numerous questions. I always appreciated the fact that he took the needed time to explain the exercises and point out where I would feel the effects. Thank you Elite Physical Therapy !” – K.L.

Your Health Is Our Top Priority: Precautions for the COVID-19 Coronavirus

Elite Physical Therapy Cares All of us at Elite Physical Therapy are thinking of you and your family during this time and are sincerely wishing you well. In response to COVID-19, we want to reinforce that we take the health and safety of our patients, employees, and community seriously. Physical Therapists are considered essential workers especially in managing musculoskeletal conditions. If you are suffering aches, acute or chronic pain, strains, or sprains or have had to postpone a scheduled surgery, we can see you without a physician prescription. This reduces the care burden on primary care physicians and orthopedic surgeons, and during the COVID-19 pandemic, frees them up to provide needed services to more acute or critical conditions.
