Welcome to FYZICAL South Colorado Springs November Newsletter!

It's a busy time of year for us all and it's important to devote some time to yourself! Continue reading to learn more about crucial insurance renewal information, the benefits of joining a group exercise program, and what may be causing your headaches or facial pain.

What should you know about your insurance renewal?

The end of 2022 is quickly approaching and we want to use this time to bring awareness to our greater community about their insurance benefits. At the conclusion of each year, some insurance benefits reset, with thousands of dollars in benefits left unused by patients. If you are currently experiencing any discomfort, pain, or additional concerns, they could be resolved with physical therapy.

Take advantage of lower (or no) out-of-pocket expenses for medical services if you've met your deductible for the year. We want to ensure that you are aware of any unused physical therapy benefits tied to your health insurance. You'll then be able to address any of your concerns entering the new year so 2023 is your best year yet!

Benefits of Group Exercise

Do you find it difficult to make time for yourself with the busy holiday season right around the corner? Joining a group exercise program could be a great way for you to let off some steam while staying fit! Some of the great benefits of a group exercise class include exposure to a social and fun environment, a safe and effectively designed workout, a consistent exercise schedule, and an accountability factor for participating in the exercise. You can choose from various group exercise formats like: aerobics, dance, yoga, step, fall prevention and more!

You'll be able to find a group exercise program that works with your busy schedule since most programs are offered in varied durations and times of day. These programs will most importantly provide you with time to focus on you, and you'll have fun while doing it!
