Hey everyone! Just a quick update...

1. We’re not closing - we’ve got too many people that rely on us!! 👌

2. We’re quite possibly the squeakiest, cleanest place in all of Downtown DC 🧽

3. Our clients NEED us - and we’re not about to let you down… 👍 Some of the conversations with clients this past week went along the lines of “I make so much progress here week after week, I don’t know what I’m going to do if I can’t come in…” & “My meetings were so awful and negative with all that’s happening. This is the place to get out of the hysteria of what’s going on. I couldn’t wait to come in here today!”

4. WE GOT YOU 💪💪 We’re actually all hands on deck and are opening up EXTRA spots for the next few weeks for people who need to get in. Many of you are stuck at home right now because of work, travel, or school cancellations 💥 now is the PERFECT time to give your body some extra care and love and get those extra sessions in 💥 because you can! Call us and book your sessions before they’re all gone ☎️

5. Back pain and Sciatica still go on 😣 with or without the coronavirus. For many of our clients - having to suffer at home with horrible back, neck, knee, hip, shoulder or ankle/foot pain is an even worse situation for you… so we’re making every possible effort to stay open, be super-clean, and help you feel confident that we are a safe place to retreat to… away from all the chaos outside 💆‍♂️ 💆‍♀️

6. “This is my happy place!” —> Quote from one of our clients this past week 🤗

7. Your health - and everyone staying healthy at MMSSPT- is our TOP priority always. Please know that we are monitoring the situation very closely and abiding by ALL recommended guidelines from the CDC and WHO ✋ NOT the news or social media

8. We have toilet paper and hand sanitizer!! Read that again…toilet paper AND hand sanitizer! 👏

All kidding and humor aside - we know this situation has people nervous because of so much uncertainty. The BEST thing you can do is try to keep as normal a routine as possible 👏 until you can’t. Staying active, healthy and mobile is a GOOD thing and helps to decrease your stress. Increased stress compromises your immune system - and puts you at a greater risk to get any kind of illness - not just the coronavirus 🤔

If you’re feeling ill 😷 stay home. But heck - if you feel normal - and you’re leaving your house each day to go about regular errands anyway - then TAKE ADVANTAGE of this forced time at home and away from normal obligations to come in!!

I hear from so many of you that you just don’t have time to take care of yourself - to take care of that back or neck pain that’s been nagging you for years… well DO IT NOW - and make the best out of this scenario!! 💪

Stay tuned for some special programs we are working on behind the scenes to get you all through this👌

In the mean time… take a deep breath with us... and enjoy this cute picture of my niece and nephew living in the moment with Mia the dolphin 🙃👇

💥 We often get asked WHY do we do things differently at Manual Medicine Spine & Sports PT?

💥 Why do we not book multiple patients at a time and run our clinic like most traditional PT clinics? 🤷‍♀️

💥 Why have we decided to focus on YOUR HEALTH & what’s BEST FOR YOU instead of worrying about the numbers ? 😰

Here’s a great article in The NY Times that explains this WHY. Why so many skilled healthcare providers are experiencing corporate burnouts 😰

One resource seems infinite and free: the professionalism of caregivers.

Humans are aging. Of course, this is the natural biological course, but entire societies are getting older, causing concern among governments. Increased older populations result in higher health care costs and less productive work forces. Yet none of this implies that we must go quietly into the nig...
