Closing Our Doors to Protect Our Community
Our highest priority continues to be the health and well-being of everyone who comes into our clinical boutique. It was with a heavy but hopeful and united heart that we closed the doors to our clinic to keep our patients and community safe until further notice.
As a valued client, we wanted to share the steps we were taking to provide the flexibility you needed during those uncertain times: first, abiding by the city's guidance and prioritizing safety; second, offering a complimentary 30-minute TeleHealth Physical Therapy session to supplement and guide home exercises; and third, creating partnerships and improving how we serve by connecting with other health and wellness practitioners.
On behalf of the entire Tribeca Physical Therapy family, thank you for putting your trust in us to provide high-quality health and wellness care. We were committed to working through those challenging circumstances together, and grateful to everyone who reached out with love and support. It put many in our community in situations of real precarity, and we did everything we could to make sure people had the support they needed.
Keeping Your Appointment Through Telehealth
Patients could keep their appointments with us through the TeleHealth Physical Therapy app or website, which offered scheduling, auto reminders, downloads, and messaging, and was available to download on the Apple App Store and Google Play. Our Telehealth Physical Therapy app was designed to communicate with patients through video chat on a HIPAA-compliant platform, a great alternative for anyone choosing to stay home.
Protecting Yourself at Home
Boost your immune system: eating a proper diet and sleeping 8 hours a day helps, since prevention is better than cure. If you have a balcony or a window, get some vitamin D through sunlight.
Keep moving: staying active at home helps your body stay in shape and gives it a good fighting chance against COVID-19 or any illness. Exercise can help flush bacteria off the lungs and improves how quickly antibodies and white blood cells circulate to detect illness earlier. Exercise is good for you, but don't overdo it, it's best to stay in touch with our professional physical therapists so we can guide and direct you. We were dedicated to guiding patients online with their exercise programs and being available to answer questions regardless of means or location.
Stay Safe
We looked forward to video chatting with our patients through our Telehealth app, and we thanked everyone from the bottom of our hearts for hanging in there with us. Stay safe.
