As part of adjusting to the changing times, CIMT is now offering outdoor treatment (Columbia and Annapolis locations only)!  At CIMT, our top priority is the health and well-being of our clients and staff.  Giving our clients the option of outdoor treatment is one of the many changes we have made in response to COVID-19.  To read more about all of the changes we have made, please see our COVID-19 Policies & Procedures page.

Please contact Lisa via email – scheduling@cimtpt.com – or voicemail – (410) 740-2155, if you would like to make an appointment.  We look forward to continuing to support you via both in-person and Telehealth physical therapy treatment sessions.  Please let us know if you have any questions.

Take care,

The CIMT Team

Back to In-Person Treatment!

At CIMT, our top priority is the health and well-being of our clients and staff.  After extensive and thorough review of CDC, NIH and APTA (American Physical Therapy Association) guidelines, as well as Governor Hogan’s executive orders, we have decided to resume in-person physical therapy treatments, for low risk, acute, and post operative clients.  In order to keep both clients and therapists as safe as possible, we have made extensive changes in our policies & procedures.  For those clients that would prefer to not to receive treatment in-person, we are continuing our Telehealth services.

Please contact Lisa via email – scheduling@cimtpt.com – or voicemail – (410) 740-2155, if you would like to make an appointment.  We look forward to continuing to support you via both in-person and Telehealth physical therapy treatment sessions.  Please let us know if you have any questions.

Take care,

During this pandemic, all of our lives have drastically changed.  For us at CIMT, this has been a huge obstacle, as we provide treatment with our hands.  Performing therapy via a computer is something that we never expected we COULD or WOULD have to do.  Although you may be reluctant to try Telehealth PT, here is a quote from a client who has been receiving Telehealth care...

It has been over 7 weeks since my last PT appointment on March 12. I was reluctant to try tele-physical therapy... it just didn't seem like it could work. But after 3 weeks, realizing that I didn't want to lose the ground Kyle and I had gained, I decided to give it a try. It was a little awkward at first, but it went better than I expected it to. Meeting with Kyle has kept me motivated to do my exercises, and I especially appreciated the written instructions he provided afterwards. Since then, Kyle and I  have had several productive sessions and I see real improvement in my symptoms. 

 

Although I will be really glad to get back to in-person appointments, the tele-physical therapy has been great. I would encourage all of your clients to give it a try, both for the immediate benefit during the shutdown and to prepare for the resumption of in-person, hands-on sessions. I know when I see Kyle again in-person, we will hit the ground running.

To Our Valued Medicare Clients,

We hope that you and your family are well, as we go through this pandemic together.  We are all gradually becoming aware that it is likely going to be longer than we thought, before we can return to in person sessions.

Therefore, we wanted you to know that in addition to our offer of a free 30 minute session, Medicare is covering what is called an E- visit.  You pay $38.95 for a 30 minute session.  We submit the claim to Medicare, and they reimburse you for the session (the amount of reimbursement is unclear at the moment). Medicare is covering one E-visit every seven days.

We can do a lot to help, including self and/or family member assisted techniques to reduce pain, teach desk/computer, sitting, and sleep positioning, and update exercises.

Please consider contacting Lisa for an appointment.

Take care, Karen

Kyle McIntyre (PT, DPT, CFMT, FFMT, FAAOMPT) will be returning to CIMT as a full time manual physical therapist on August 19, 2019.  He has spent the last 15 months completing the Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapy Fellowship, at The Institute of Physical Art in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.  Kyle will be seeing clients in our Annapolis and Columbia offices.  Please contact Lisa, scheduling@cimtpt.com, if you would like to make an appointment.

Kim Durant has decided to leave CIMT to pursue new opportunities.

Her last day at CIMT will be Friday, October 4th.  We are very grateful for Kim's contribution to CIMT and will miss her greatly.  We wish her the best in her future endeavors!

St. John’s College Baseball Finishes Historic Season

The St. John’s College high school baseball finished their season this past month with a win in the DCSAA Finals against Woodrow Wilson High School, winning a close game 1-0.

A week, earlier, SJC became the first high school baseball program to win the WCAC for six consecutive seasons. They defeated DeMatha High School, winning the best of three series, two games to none. They had a 10-0 victory in the first game and followed it up with a 9-1 victory the next evening.

Overall, the team finished with a record of 30-3, becoming the first team in SJC history to win 30 games. Below is a picture of the team celebrating after their WCAC victory, including CIMT’s Scott Juzwak, who just completed his first season with the team as their physical therapist. Congratulations on a great season!
