Excel Physical Therapy has been OPEN to care for patients that needed ongoing therapy during this difficult time. We have made it our priority to put the health and safety of our patients and staff first. We have recently moved to a spacious new office at 75 Sockanosset Cross Road, Cranston RI. We have many large private rooms and an open gym, allowing essential social distancing. We are booking patients in 45-minute appointments to avoid overlap which also increases safety. Patients and staff are asked to wear masks, wash hands upon entering the clinic and are being screened for temperatures. We are also doing telehealth visits for patients who cannot yet leave their homes to seek care. We appreciate your support and look forward to caring for you and your family in the future.

Backpack Safety Tips!

1. Use of one strap causes one side of the body to bear the weight of the backpack. By wearing two shoulder straps, the weight of the backpack is better distributed across the shoulders.

2. Pay close attention to the way the backpack is positioned on the back. It should rest evenly in the middle of the back. Shoulder straps should be adjusted to allow the child to put on and take off the backpack without difficulty and allow free movement of the arms. Straps should not be too loose, and the backpack should not extend below the low back.

3. Keep the load at 10-15% or less of the child's bodyweight. Carry only those items that are required for the day or find a new lightweight backpack. Organize the contents of the backpack by placing the heaviest items closest to the back. Some students have two sets of books so as not to have to carry the heavy books to and from school. A backpack with wheels can also help if the child has to carry greater than 15% of their bodyweight.
