TuDor Physical Therapy is committed to providing our patients and staff members with a safe and healthy clinic environment. We continue to monitor updates from the Centers for Disease Control and the World Health Organization regarding COVID-19. We will use the guidance provided by these agencies and public health officials to update you as new information becomes available. Let’s work together to keep each other safe and healthy.
We’re Open and Continue to Safely Provide Care for Patients!
Physical therapy treatment has been deemed as an essential service by government agencies and the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), which consider physical therapy treatment as an essential service to keep musculoskeletal and debilitated patients from having to visit primary care physicians during these times. TuDor Physical Therapy is committed to providing a safe clinic environment for our staff and patients by:
- Screening staff and patients prior to coming into our clinics
- Following CDC guidelines
- Maintaining social distancing in the clinic for anyone not being treated
- Increasing our disinfection and sterilization measures
- Offering telehealth and in-home outpatient visits to those who are unable to come into the clinic (We will screen patients prior to in-home outpatient visits)
Stay on track with your physical therapy program – call your local TuDor Physical Therapy clinic today to schedule your next appointment.
COMING SOON to all TuDor Physical Therapy Clinics – New Physical Therapy Care Options – In-home Outpatient Therapy and Telehealth (Virtual)
We are committed to providing our patients with the physical therapy care they need even during unprecedented times. While in-clinic physical therapy is always the most effective care option, we know you may not feel comfortable leaving your home in light of COVID-19. TuDor Physical Therapy has expanded our care options to provide you with two alternatives:
In-Home Outpatient Therapy
One-on-one care for skilled supervision and progression of treatment, including hands-on care with limited availability of therapeutic equipment. We can provide In-Home Outpatient Therapy to current patients that have already started a therapy program with TuDor Physical Therapy.
Telehealth (Virtual) Therapy
Telehealth Therapy is one-on-one care for skilled supervision and progression of treatment for current patients that have already started a therapy program with TuDor Physical Therapy.
Call your local TuDor Physical Therapy clinic to schedule your next appointment to decrease your symptoms, increase mobility and restore physical well-being.
Upcoming & Past Travel Guidelines
We ask that you please inform us if you or a family member whom you reside with has traveled to a country labeled as Level 2, 3, or 4 risk by the CDC.
More information about these levels can be found by visiting the Center for Disease Control’s website: https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/notices

Keeping Our Clinics Safe
Here are some tips on how we can keep each other safe:
- Handwashing is your best self-defense against the spread of germs. When soap and water are not available and hands are not visibly dirty, use at least a 60% alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
- Please stay home if you are not feeling well, especially if you have a fever, are coughing or sneezing, or are experiencing shortness of breath. If a patient shows up with symptoms, the clinic team will work with them to reschedule.
- Be vigilant. If you have traveled to any of the countries where there are outbreaks of the virus, please follow guidance from the CDC website and our Travel Guidelines.
Here are some tips on how we can keep each other safe:
- Equipment will be wiped down after EVERY use with antibacterial wipes/sprays
- All surfaces that patients or staff may touch including door handles, countertops, seating, pens at sign-in, bathroom and all other common areas will be disinfected regularly
- Treatment tables will be 6 feet apart
- Team members will wash their hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, particularly after going to the bathroom, before eating, and after blowing their nose, coughing or sneezing
- Clinics will have hand sanitizer available at the front desk and in the treatment areas
- Any TuDor Physical Therapy team members who are ill will be asked to stay home
- We will maintain social distancing at all times between patients in the clinic
- Caregivers that are bringing a patient to the clinic should wait in their car or come back when the appointment has ended unless necessary (i.e. minor requiring a guardian or for assistance needs)
- When possible, we will treat patients in private rooms to increase social distancing

- All patients should be self-screening before entering the clinic and our PCCs will perform a secondary screening during the check-in process
