STAR PHYSICAL THERAPY OPEN

Description

                  
TeleRehab Now Available
 
Dear Physician and Referral Partners,
 
In the wake of recent events, STAR Physical Therapy is taking every precaution to contain the spread of the COVID-19 Virus.  As outpatient physical therapy has been defined by the CDC as an essential medical service during this crisis, all 67 of our outpatient physical therapy locations remain open to safely serve both new and existing patients. We continue to follow all CDC guidelines in every location to ensure the safety of our patients, our staff, and the community.
To ensure that patients who are ill or at risk continue to have access to essential physical therapy, occupational therapy, and workers compensation services, we have launched our new TeleRehab program.
What is TeleRehab?
TeleRehab is an alternative to traditional clinic-based outpatient rehabilitation that can be completed in the comfort of the patient’s home.  Our TeleRehab visits utilize a platform that ensures HIPAA / HITECH compliance and utilizes 128-bit encryption for patient privacy.
How does it work?
TeleRehab occurs on a scheduled date and time just like a traditional clinic visit. However, TeleRehab visits have patients meet one-on-one with a therapist virtually. During these virtual visits, our therapists can provide many of the same skilled services we offer in the clinic including an assessment of the patient's condition, patient education, and progression of exercises to help improve:

• Strength
• Range of Motion
• Posture
• Neuromuscular Control
• Patient Safety

• Smartphone, Tablet, or Computer with Camera and Microphone Enabled
• Internet Connection to access Google Chrome, Firefox, or Safari
• Access to E-mail
• A comfortable, well-lit space in their home with room for movement and exercise
• Comfortable clothing that allows for movement and exercise
