Wishing everyone Happy Holidays! 2021 has been a better year than 2020 but it feels like much more progress is needed in order to get a handle on this COVID problem. We urge everyone to be responsible in celebrating and stay vigilant. Most importantly, have the best time this holiday season and appreciate life for what it is.
We at Belden Physical Therapy and Fitness want to thank everyone for all your support and encouragement through the years as we make it past our 5th anniversary!!!
To celebrate, we are taking some much needed R&R from December 23rd to January 4th. See you all in 2022!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Happy Wednesday Everyone,
It's been nearly 7 months since SIP, I hope everyone has been staying safe and healthy. Since we opened back up, I have noticed an increase in cases of repetitive stress related ailments (i.e. back pain, neck pain, elbow/wrist pain). Please be sure to vary your activity, take plenty of breaks, make sure you have an appropriate, comfortable, and ergonomic workspace. With all the remote working, we could lose sight of the principles we had prior to shelter in place that kept us healthy. Remember to stretch often and participate in some healthy activity that will offset being in front of the computer too long.
Stay well! We miss you all!

Hello Belden Physical Therapy and Fitness community,

As of March 17, 2020 we are directed to abide by San Francisco directive of ‘shelter in place’ through April 7, 2020, possibly longer. I hope all of you are being safe and staying healthy. We hope everyone has been able to stay compliant with their home exercise programs and that you continue to recover from your injuries/ailments.

As the days go by, you may wonder how to progress with your exercises or if you are still doing things correctly, or if you have unanswered questions about your injury/ailment in general. We have been unable to take in-clinic appointments but we are fortunate in this day and age to provide services via telehealth.

The medical community as a whole is trying to address new ways to extend medical care to patients especially in our current situation dealing with the Coronavirus. This is a new arena for physical therapy but it is not one that we are unable to overcome. I feel that video conferencing will allow the physical therapist and patient to interact more appropriately than via telephone and email exchange. Currently Medicare is allowing coverage for telehealth services but other insurance carriers have not quite followed suit but we hope they will.

In the meantime, we will provide telehealth services via a cash pay basis up to 25 minute video conference sessions using the Zoom app for those not covered by Medicare. This should be sufficient time to answer your questions and review/progress your treatment program. We appreciate your understanding and flexibility.

As a small business in healthcare, we are doing our best to serve the community, keep our staff and the public safe, and try to stay viable through these difficult times. We are all in this together. Again, please stay safe and healthy and we hope to see you all again soon.

If you have any questions, please reach out to us at admin@beldenpt.com.

Yours truly,
Belden Physical Therapy and Fitness

Hello everyone,

We are currently honoring all appointments already made. We are waiving any cancellation charges but please let us know early so we can plan our own schedules.
We are taking all precautions and wiping down surfaces and being safe. If you are sick and not feeling well, we encourage you to stay home and self isolate.

Please understand that we are in a very fluid and dynamic environment with major changes occurring by the day/hour. We continually do our best to provide a safe and healthy environment. Please remember to wash your hands thoroughly and use hand sanitizer. If you have your own hand sanitizer, we appreciate that you use it as resources are scarce. All of us at Belden Physical Therapy and Fitness are proud to be a part of the community and we are all in this together. Please be safe and stay healthy through these trying times.

Best,
Belden Physical Therapy and Fitness
