COVID-19 Deconditioning Screen
After COVID-19, SCREEN PAMM & Yourself
Meet Pamm.1 She is a mother, a grandmother, and before COVID-19 she was an avid gardener. But during the shelter-in-place order, Pamm spent more time inside, on the couch. Now she is weaker, more lethargic, and she wants to get back to doing the things she loves. Now that we are re-opening, it is time to SCREEN PAMM for 10 common issues that can be addressed with Physical Therapy. Screen yourself, and if you have any questions talk to your doctor about how Physical Therapy can help. At FYZICAL Rockville, we want you to Love Your Life!
