Just in! (since the government shutdown was brief this time...)
PTs on the edge of our seats per usual just to find out we can still get reimbursed for treating patients via telehealth. (as we're treating patients anyway, not knowing if we'll get paid for our time/treatment.)

It's ridiculous that we even have to fight for this especially at present, as snow, ice and cold can keep patients from traveling.

We always have great feedback with video visits- taking patients through an exercise session with equipment they have at home, adjusting form, progressing exercise as needed or evaluating a new pain, when then can't make it into the clinic.

For now-we're still online...and in person!
Having trouble getting out but have some pain that you need to address? Give us a call and we'll get you on the schedule in person or via telehealth! 412-924-8424

Telehealth PT sessions for today but tomorrow back in the office!
Video visits are a great way to address any symptoms or new pains of the day and get a home program in with your PT using equipment you have at home! Very easy to use.
Nice work to those patients who had a visit today keeping on track to meet their goals!💪🏋‍♀️

Whether or not you're in shape, any activity in larger quantity that you haven't done in a while can cause injury.

Avoid strains and muscle spasm- Do your pre/post stretches!

I created a short list of a few. Check them out! -->

Accumulating pretty quickly-I'd recommend getting a round in if you haven't already!
and...
If your snow blower didn't start (like mine) or you don't have one.. here are SHOVELING TIPS:
-->Do pre/post stretches (see next post)
-->Use a wheel barrow to avoid lugging snow too far
-->Switch sides so you aren't throwing snow to the same side the whole time
-->Take off top layer first to avoid too heavy of a load
-->See correct technique for shoveling- tighten those abs and bend those knees!
-->Take rest breaks! Go inside blow your nose, take a drink of water then go back at it.

IMPORTANT: If you don't do regular cardio exercise, and especially if you are > 50 y/o and M you are at a higher risk for a heart attack shoveling snow. (take breaks, watch for warning signs)

Send us a message if you're concerned with any pain that pops up and good luck out there!❄🏂🏿☃
