SPT has been working to adapt our practice by adding telehealth to our offered services. The governor, our licensing board, and national PT organizations are encouraging us to use telehealth. This is a new approach and some may initially feel hesitant, but we are finding it useful and effective for many patients.

Fascia (also called "connective tissue") is a body system to which little attention has been paid to in the past. It is the tough, white membrane which we sometimes remove from meat before cooking. It is very strong, being able to withstand and exert a force of 2000 pounds per square inch. The fascial system extends from the toes to the top of the head, throughout the body, in a continuous spider web-like fashion.
Did you know? In a 2004 study in the medical journal "Headache" (Tepper et al. 2004), a total of 128 medical clinics across 15 countries were studied and out of 1203 patients presenting with a complaint of headaches, by strict criteria, 94% were found to have variants of migraine or "probable" migraine.
Your inner ear does a lot more than help you to hear sound. It detects movement - up and down, forward and backward, and rotation of your head and body. There are specialized structures for each of these movements, and more! This information is sent into your brain and distributed to places like your eyes and your feet and it is compared to other sources of information as well.
Did you know that research into chronic pain has exploded in the last 10 years? We now know a lot more about what is happening in the nerves of persons experiencing any type of persistent pain and this is helping us to better develop customized treatment plans. Research is finding that nerves can become sensitized and begin to react to even normal sensations in a painful way.

I was seen here for a few weeks for therapy for my lower back, and what an experience it was! The staff were all very kind and the medical practitioners were incredibly knowledgeable and thorough. I would HIGHLY recommend any patients who are in need of therapy to come here, it will be one of the best decisions you have made!

I have EDS and the SPT staff are all very knowledgeable about my condition and how to help manage it. The mind-body skills that I have gained through my PT have greatly improved my quality of life, living with chronic pain. Plus, it's so nice to feel comfortable getting PT in an office that takes coronavirus so seriously. I love that the majority of my treatments take place one on one in a private room, so that I'm not spending the hour in a large room with lots of other people. I'm able to feel safe and get the highest quality of care here. I would recommend Simon's to anyone!
