PATIENT
At the Ready Humpal Physical Therapy continues to provide essential health care to the Coastal Bend community. By: Phillip J. Cronkhite Jr.
n this new time period that we, as humans and health care providers, find ourselves in, it is important that we continue to take care of ourselves, in both body and mind. Here at Humpal Physical Therapy, as an essential health care provider, we remain open at all six locations in the Coastal Bend to help our community in these endeavors.

Physical therapy can help improve cardiovascular endurance.
We have always maintained well-cleaned clinics, but now we have ramped up the cleaning and disinfecting of the clinics. We have also implemented new screening procedures of patients and caregivers. We care about the health and safety of our patients and our employees. Physical therapy, in general, is intended to help restore patients to their prior level of function. But also, physical therapy can help improve cardiovascular endurance. It helps improve overall well-being. By doing so, it should help keep people healthier and help them battle diseases, including the COVID-19 virus. We want our patients and our community to be safe in these trying times, and we would like to see you attend your essential physical therapy appointments, just as you would attend your essential doctors’ appointments.
We want the community, and our patients, to know that we are here for you. We remain open and stand at the ready to continue to help you get healthier. Remember: Choose More Movement, Choose Better Heath, Choose Physical Therapy. Humpal knows!

But fear not! If you are unable to attend a visit, Medicare has given permission for you to receive what is known as an e-visit. Your physical therapist can talk to you by phone about your current plan of care and exercise program, and answer any questions you may have. We can even provide a new and updated home exercise program that can help you continue to improve at home if you are unable to come in.
