COVID-19/TelehealthDear Therapy Specialists Inc Patients and Families We hope that you and your family are well. In recent weeks we have all seen a new reality regarding the concerns about the COVID-19 virus. We at Therapy Specialists are closely monitoring recommendations from the health authorities and are committed to providing the utmost personal care to our patients. While we continue to see patients in our clinic in accordance with the rigorous CDC guidelines, many patients in high risk groups are strongly advised to stay home and avoid social exposure. Unfortunately, many of these patients are the ones who need our care the most. There is additional concern for the long-term musculoskeletal health implications of abruptly halting or delaying the physical and occupational therapy intervention. Per Director's of Ohio Department of Health "Stay-At-Home Order", Physical Therapy is considered an essential service. https://www.ohiopt.org/resource/resmgr/docs/Directors_Stay_at_Home_Order.pdf In addition to our already rigorous cleaning and infection control practices, we are closely following the CDC guidelines to help prevent the spread of the COVID-19 disease and have implemented the following changes to our operations.
