Greetings

Welcome to the May newsletter from Yosemite Physical Therapy.

We hope that you and your family are well - your health and well-being is our top priority.

We continue to monitor recommendations from the health authorities, and we are OPEN to provide the safe personal care needed for your journey to recovery.

We would like to share some details on the standard daily practices which we have always had at our clinics in addition to extra steps we are taking in light of the virus.

Standard practices that our patients have always experienced at Yosemite Physical Therapy include:

  • All of our linens are single use and are cleaned using detergent on high heat.
    Wiping down of all treatment beds and equipment after each use with hospital grade disinfectant.
  • Our clinics are fully equipped with hand washing stations as well as hand sanitizer
    Cleaning high-touch areas with disinfectant (e.g., door handles, common area surfaces, railings, chairs, light switches, payment machines, exercise equipment and treatment tools)
  • Our staff wash their hands thoroughly after treating each patient

Additional steps we are taking now include:

  • We are monitoring temperature of our patients that enter the office
  • We request that non-patients remain in their cars or at home during treatment 
  • We are using two-layer masks for additional protection - and we are asking all patients to wear masks themselves
  • Additional training to our staff on increased sanitization/hand hygiene recommendations
  • Advising our staff to stay home if they are feeling unwell or have travelled by air in the last 14 days or have had close contact with someone who has travelled by air in the previous 14 days
  • Increasing the frequency of cleaning all items listed above

The steps that we have put in place are due both to our love for our patients but also for our great staff.

We can do this !

- In Health

Getting Ready for Gardening

Gardening is a fun, calming, and for some people, meditative activity. Improper lifting techniques and poor body posture can lead to back, hip and knee pain that can make it hard to enjoy this activity. Using good mechanics and making the right preparations can keep you in your garden for hours.

Enjoy running for physical and mental health 

Running is great exercise, whether it is for recreation or competition. 

It requires great lung capacity, endurance, proper alignment and technique, and strong leg muscles. Even with all of the above, injuries may still occur in the hips, knees, legs, ankles, and feet. Fortunately, proper assessment and strength training, along with the right pair of shoes can help prevent unnecessary injuries.
