All 13 Physical Therapy & Wellness Institute Clinics are Open and Operating
Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolfe has implemented a Stay Home declaration effective at 8:00 PM on April 1, 2020.
The Physical Therapy & Wellness Institute will remain open under this declaration. The US Department of Homeland Security has classified Physical Therapy as essential critical services. We will continue to follow all CDC recommendations and policies at our facilities. In addition to keeping our clinics clean and open, we are now offering Telehealth PT visits online and In-Home visits as alternatives.
What we are doing:
- We are complementing our in-house Physical Therapy appointments with telehealth in order to continue Physical Therapy with less frequent trips out
- We have implemented a screening process for every patient prior to treatment
- We practice physical and social distancing with all our clinical appointments
- We have increased our frequency of cleaning policies and procedures
- We have adjusted patient schedules to limit the amount of people in a clinic
- We are offering in home Physical Therapy appointments, bringing facemasks, robes, gloves, and sanitizing wipes.
If appropriate, appointments will be moved to telehealth if a patient is experiencing any of the following:
- Cough
- Shortness of breath
- Chills
- Fever
- Sneezing with nasal discharge
- Other cold or flu-like symptoms
At PTW, we are proud to be available for you during this challenge. Although it’s not easy, we are inspired to help others, especially the health care workers on the front line that need to be their best selves during this time.
