Physical Therapy Services of Lansing

I am very Thankful, on this Thanksgiving weekend, to update everyone that the clinic has re-opened as Team Rehab. We were closed briefly to turn the clinic over and did a soft launch on November 16.
During my interviews, I asked Team Rehab if they were willing to work as hard as me to get the clinic back open so I could return to treating patients as fast as possible. Without a doubt, Team Rehab has exceded my expectations. As a company, they focus on supporting the clinicians so they can give superior care to the patient.
We are still waiting for some equipment but are back to treating a full patient case load of Orthopedics, pelvic floor, TMJ, vestibular and Lymphedema. The address is the same, the pbone number is the same and the fax number, that your doctor knows, is the same. We are thrilled to be back and look forward to our new adventures.

Today at 2:00 we closed our doors for good. As a small independent company we felt the financial strains of the Covid pandemic. We enjoyed many great relationships with our patients, referrals and as team mates (past and present). Each clinician will stay in Lansing. If you are looking for Saige, Sandy, Kelly or Jen, feel free to contact me so I can share. Stay tuned for the next chapter of life's adventures. Love to all. - W. Saige Richardson PT.

Physical Therapy Services of Lansing
Compassionate care for challenging health concerns
When someone suffers from an injury, physical therapy provides an effective method to help them get back on their feet. But for patients who suffer from unique health challenges — like lymphedema or pelvic floor dysfunction — many standard physical therapy offices don’t provide the specialized care they require.

That’s where Physical Therapy Services of Lansing comes in.

“We are the only clinic in Lansing that will treat lower extremity lymphedema if there’s a presence of a wound,” said Saige Richardson, practice partner of Physical Therapy Services of Lansing.

Lymphedema is the swelling of arms and legs that often occurs as a result of damage to the body’s lymphatic system. This swelling can cause a feeling of heaviness or tightness, restricted range of motion, aching and discomfort and puts patients at an increased risk of infection. If left untreated, the skin can begin to break down, causing open wounds. Because of this, many physical therapy offices are unwilling to see these patients after a wound has formed, leaving them without a place to find relief.

“We have a really big responsibility for this population that often falls through the cracks,” Richardson said.

Physical Therapy Services of Lansing also provides unique services for another group of frequently underserved patients — those who suffer from pelvic floor dysfunction. The term “pelvic floor” refers to the canopy-like group of muscles that stretch across the bottom of the pelvis, providing support to the bladder, reproductive organs and re**um. These muscles can weaken with age or injury, causing a number of health concerns. While these health challenges are extremely common, some patients can find it difficult and embarrassing to talk about with a health care provider. Richardson and her team pride themselves on creating a safe and relaxing environment so patients can feel comfortable and confident getting the therapy they need for these sensitive health concerns.

“I’m 100% a caregiver at heart,” Richardson said. “We provide a safe place for a lot of our patients. We’re a comfortable relaxed place for them to be.”

Looking ahead, Richardson is looking forward to investing in continuing education to increase her team’s knowledge of lymphedema and pelvic floor care. Her team, made up of two physical therapists and two physical therapist assistants, will continue to offer flexible hours, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., to make sure that their services are available for anyone who needs them.

Physical Therapy Services of Lansing is at 3937 Patient Care Drive, Suite 105 in Lansing, 517.272-9320, ptsofmi.com/lansing-clinic. If you want to learn more about lymphedema or pelvic floor care, feel free to email Saige Richardson at SRichardson@ptsofwmi.com.

The Covid-19 Quarantine has had a lot of devastating effects on small businesses. Physical Therapy Services of Lansing is one of those small businesses that need your support. We are locally owned, not a large corporation with a multi-million dollar headquarters. We are small and personal. We have well trained licensed clinicians who love to spend one on one time with our patients and celebrate them when they meet their goals. We offer free 30 minute screening exams that you can take advantage of to make sure we are the right fit for you. When you doctor hands you that prescription for Physical Therapy remember you have options.

I have spent the last 7 hours working at my computer. You wouldn't think I would have that much to do with no patients to treat but that is not true. So how did I survive that much sitting? With frequent posture breaks. Every 45 min I would get up and go do a little chore. I would stretch in the opposite direction, such as arching my back and stretching my Hamstrings, to balance my muscles.

What have you been doing to take care of yourself during the Stay Home, Stay Safe orders?

Governor Whitmer's executive order 2020-21 states:

Temporary requirement to suspend activities that are not necessary to sustain or protect life.

It is very difficult for our team to keep our doors closed until April 13. But in these current times, there are few exceptions for out patient Physical Therapy fulfilling life sustaining or life protecting measures. At Physical Therapy Services of Lansing we emphasize hands on treatment with every visit. Most of our visits are one on one care. We cannot maintain a six foot distance and provide Quality care.

As the number of cases and the death toll rises we know that we have done the right thing and the courageous thing to participate in the Stay home, stay safe instructions. One of life's lessons is that the hardest thing you can do for someone you love, and we do love our patients, is to do nothing at all.

Prayers and good wishes to everyone's well being.

To all of our patients, we have phoned each of you individually to let you know that we will be closed for the next three weeks. We will reach out to you again when we are cleared to return to the clinic.
STAY home and Stay Safe.
