With elective surgeries now underway again in Colorado, which will increase the demand for physical therapy services, this is especially important.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPhysical therapy after surgery or serious injury is crucial in proper recovery,\u201d according to Avalanche Physical Therapy. \u201cIt is our duty to continue providing our patients with the best care possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col\" readability=\"6\">\n<div class=\"row sd-donation sd-donation-mobile p-0\" readability=\"7\">\n<div class=\"col-xl-4 p-2\">\n<div data-bg=\"url(https:\/\/cdn.summitdaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/03\/SDN-logo-white-1.png)\" class=\"p-0 mt-2 mb-2 h-75 text-center rocket-lazyload\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.summitdaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/03\/SDN-logo-white-1.png\" class=\"logo m-0 p-0 invisible\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"d-inline mr-3\">Support Local Journalism<\/h3>\n<p><button class=\"btn d-inline\" type=\"button\" onclick=\"handleDonationButtonClickMidArticle()\">Donate<\/button><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Extended, flexible hours<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Avalanche Physical Therapy has adapted its scheduling to increase the safety of all staff and patients. The clinics are not advertising specific hours of operation in order to remain nimble to meet patients\u2019 scheduling needs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re scheduling patients as needed throughout the day to best distance out appointments,\u201d said Rachel Follender, director of marketing and communications. \u201cWe\u2019re limiting the number of people in our clinics as much as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Avalanche Physical Therapy is operating with an abundance of caution, including ensuring all staff have proper personal protective equipment. Staff will also be screening each patient at the door. Anyone experiencing any cold or flu-like symptoms should stay home.<\/p>\n<p>To schedule an appointment or to talk to a member of the staff about current safety efforts, call the clinic directly (see contact information in breakout box).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Telehealth services remain an effective option<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For those who are sick, self-isolating or simply don\u2019t feel comfortable scheduling an in-person appointment, telehealth remains an excellent option for physical therapy.<\/p>\n<p>Avalanche Physical Therapy sessions are accessible, easy to use and customized to each patient\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n<p>Through the use of video technology \u2014 patients can use any device with a camera and microphone \u2014 doctors and physical therapists can answer questions, demonstrate home exercises and provide follow-up care for patients. Thanks to telemedicine options, most patients should have good long-term outcomes from any surgical procedure currently being done.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy providing these virtual visits, we can continue providing world-class physical therapy to all of our patients, and reduce the number of people in our physical locations,\u201d according to Avalanche Physical Therapy.<\/p>\n<p>Avalanche Physical Therapy is a tier one provider with Bright Health \u2014 the billing name is Vail-Summit Physical Therapy when searching for in-network providers \u2014 and a large majority of other health insurance plans also cover telehealth visits.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve never used telehealth services, your therapist will walk you through the process before your appointment.<\/p>\n<p>After your first session, Avalanche Physical Therapy will provide you with a series of personalized videos tailored to your personal needs so that you can maintain your physical recovery plan in the comfort of your living room.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.summitdaily.com\/news\/avalanche-physical-therapy-open-to-serve-patients-in-summit-county-sponsored\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Summit Daily<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Editor\u2019s Note: Sponsored content brought to you by Avalanche Physical Therapy Avalanche Physical Therapy is open at all three locations in Frisco, Silverthorne and Breckenridge with measures in place to ensure the safety of all patients and staff.
