Safely Moving You Forward – COVID Updates

At New Life, we understand the mixed emotions we have all been experiencing as a response to the change going on around us. We understand many of you have been living through and dealing with pain. You have altered your movement and activity and are seeing the effects of decreased mobility, activity, and exercise. We feel blessed as a small business to have been able to survive the last few months and are committed to the health and safety of our clients and employees as we move forward to guiding you towards reclaiming your active, pain-free life. We are committed to our employees and our communities to move from a state of “surviving” to “thriving” so that we can remain a choice and option to empower and serve you for years to come.

At New Life Physical Therapy we have updated our policies according to CDC guidelines and local health authority’s recommendations. We are asking that all patients who have in-person appointments:

✔ Please wear a mask while inside the building.
✔ Please arrive inside the building alone for your appointment unless you are a minor or if you need assistance, then you may be accompanied by one adult during your appointment with the therapist.
✔ Please arrive inside the building no earlier than 5 minutes before your appointment, if possible.

Please visit https://newlifept.com/covid-19 for more detailed information on how we are keeping you and our employees healthy and protected during COVID-19.

Clinic Happenings

New Life PT donated a raffle basket to the Portage Lion's Club Radio Auction held on August 22nd, which was postponed from earlier this year. Benefits from the Auction will go to Lion's Club community projects.

New Life Physical Therapy held a Racial Inequality in Healthcare presentation for its employees. There are considerable facts that identify that this issue also extends into the healthcare arena. Our meeting built on the principle that we are an inclusive organization that has a mission to serve all people with kindness and respect including the need to have conversation of what and how these inequalitites look like, how we can become more comfortable discussing them, and how can be a proactive organization moving forward on these topics.

The Portage Chamber of Commerce held their 13th annual Chamber Golf Outing at the Portage Country Club. This year looked a little different from past years due to COVID-19, but we still managed to have lots of fun. New Life Physical Therapy sponsored hole #1 on the hot summer day.

Success Helping People Reclaim Their Active Life!

Sally came to New Life Physical Therapy after injuring her shoulder. She says, “I strained my right upper arm and shoulder when I threw something. I experienced some pain and discomfort when moving the arm in the next few days. Physical Therapy had helped me regain movement in my left arm/shoulder when I had a torn rotator cuff. The right shoulder injury was not as severe, but still was limiting me. The therapy helped wonderfully. ” - Sally
