​Dear Valued Patient and Community member,
 
Thank you for your continued support and patience as we navigate the rapidly evolving scenario that surrounds coronavirus , during this unprecedented time
 
Revolution Rehabilitation, PC WILL remain open normal hours in both of our locations to serve our patients and community. Revolution rehab is committed to ensuring the health and safety of our patients and staff and want to sure you that we are closely following all precautions as advised by the CDC.

​To our valued Revolution Rehabilitation patients:

If you’ve been watching the news, you’re probably already aware that the number of confirmed cases of coronavirus (COVID-19) in the United States is growing. As a precautionary measure, we’d like to offer some recommendations and information about coronavirus as it relates to your care. Please read through the following FAQ and let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

Am I at risk? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) offered the following advice:

• The majority of the American public is unlikely to be exposed to this virus, so generally speaking, the immediate health risk posed by COVID-19 is considered low.
• People in communities with a growing number of confirmed COVID-19 cases are at an elevated—though still relatively low—risk of exposure.
• Like other viruses, COVID-19 cannot target people from specific populations, ethnicities, or racial backgrounds; exposure to the disease itself is the greatest risk factor associated with contracting it.

What are the symptoms?
Symptoms of coronavirus include:

• Fever
• Coughing
• Shortness of breath

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, we ask that you contact your primary care physician for further advice. In the meantime, as a courtesy to your therapist, our clinic staff, and your fellow patients, please do not come into the clinic at this time. Instead, please contact us to reschedule your future appointments—even if it's last-minute—by calling 719-635-8622.

I'm only feeling a little sick. What should I do?
While it may be tempting to come in for your treatment if you “just have a cough,” we do ask that you reschedule your appointment if you are feeling at all sick. In the meantime (and if your strength allows), continue with your prescribed home exercise program, and reach out to your therapist via phone or in-app messaging if you have any questions.

For a helpful set of recommendations on how to keep yourself and others protected from COVID-19 and other respiratory diseases year-round, follow this link.

We appreciate your willingness to help us with this matter.

Wishing you good health,


The Revolution Rehabilitation Team

​You wake up, roll over and prepare to stand when a sharp pain hits in your back and continues from that moment onward… all day at your desk, in the car, on the couch... The thought of exercise curls your toes. What’s wrong, you think? Diagnosis: weak butt syndrome.

Commonly, we let our backsides slide and we can thank our sedentary, technological lifestyle for letting our largest most metabolically active muscles turn into couch pillows. From sport to everyday activity, the Gluteals, “glutes” for short are essential for power, endurance, function, and pain prevention. 

​These days, there’s a lot of discussion and investigation surrounding proper running form, and more people than ever are trying to fix their form in the hopes of preventing injuries and increasing time and distance. There are a number of schools of thought, such as Minimalism and Chi Running, each of which has its converts. BUT… how do you know if your form needs fixing? 

Hand and finger pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness taking the fun out of your function? You may be suffering from a common condition known as carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).
​
CTS is the most common upper extremity nerve compression syndrome, occurring in a percent of the population, with 7.2% primarily related to occupational work-related injuries and repetitive type upper arm, hand and finger motions.
