Patients, please take this short survey to help our state association with legislative efforts to improve access to physical therapy in Colorado. At Rezac PT, we have been very active with advocacy for legislative efforts for our patients and our profession. What politicians really listen to is the public. Please take a minute to help us help you.

From Colorado APTA:

APTA Colorado intends to introduce legislation to lessen the negative impact that insurance carriers and their 3rd party intermediaries have on you, your patients and your employers. We need to hear from your patients to show legislators that we have a problem with utilization management and prior authorization to justify our legislative recommendations.

Please ask your patients with private insurance or Medicaid to complete the below 1-2 minute survey to help our profession fight back against insurance carrier overreach.

Physical Therapist Services Survey Turn data collection into an experience with Typeform. Create beautiful online forms, surveys, quizzes, and so much more. Try it for FREE.

Interested in joining our team? We are looking for highly motivated individuals with a passion to learn and grow in the field.

"I have had Multiple Sclerosis for over 30 years and have met many competent therapists. I have never been as impressed as I am with Valerie Morse at Rezac PT! She is caring, accepting, highly knowledgeable, and, depending on my day, willing to change her plan to match my ability. I would highly recommend Rezac PT to anyone who needs physical therapy!"

It is our distinct honor to highlight this treasure of a human and celebrate your journey. We have been so blessed by your spirit and your relentless drive to never give up.

***CALL TO ACTION*** Please read and post if you have resources.

Happy Veteran's Day to all Veterans who gave so much of themselves to protect the freedoms of our country. We are grateful to each and every one of you.

We celebrate and remember the Veterans who gave the ultimate sacrifice of their lives for which we are grateful. Lest we forget all the Veteran's who walk this earth who are no longer whole. They are injured from battles from war and peacetime, on foreign soil and in our own country, from enemies and those they believed to be their allies.

Every Veteran put their lives on the line for this country. While many wounds are visible, hundreds of thousands of men and women live with those that are not. They are conditioned to march on, show no weakness, bury their personal pain. Their families and friends also sacrificed and continue to do so for loving their Veteran.

We ask that not just on Veteran's Day we remember our Veterans and their families. Not just "thank you" but empathy for what they have been through and look for opportunities to help those who are living with chronic pain and illness, PTSD, depression, traumatic brain injuries and any other disability.

These lead to feelings of isolation, impair their ability to work, their relationships and impact every aspect of their lives. They may seem angry, lazy, detached or unmotivated. May you see they are hurting, scared and not sure how to care for themselves. They have never been allowed to do this.

At Rezac & Associates Physical Therapy we are a Veteran owned trauma informed care clinic dedicated to serving our military personnel and their families. We have a specialized team of physical therapists to address the sequalae of traumatic brain injury symptoms, chronic pain, trauma injuries and both neurological and orthopedic conditions. Please call us at 719-465-1502 to schedule an evaluation and see how we can help you today. Most major insurances accepted including Tricare, VA, Medicare and Medicaid.

We invite you to share in the comments if you are a business who helps veterans and/or any resources you have for Veterans to raise awareness of those that can help the people who gave so much for our country.

Happy Birthday Marines from our very own Dr. Dyanna Hayley-Rezac PT, DPT, OCS, NCS, FAAOMPT

Celebration of Life for Paphos. He lived big life.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=569ZYlZiumY

Paphos Cannes Haley-Rezac 4/1/14 - 7/2/22 The life in pictures story of the amazing dog who lived and loved big.

It is with heavy hearts we let you know Paphos Cannes Haley-Rezac Animal Assisted Therapy Canine passed over the rainbow bridge this weekend. He led a life that was full beyond measure. If you are an active patient at Rezac PT, please give Maya extra love as she went from having 2 companions to none in 14 months and will need some extra attention for awhile. We know each of our therapy dogs impact everyone in their own way. We pass on our deepest sympathies for your loss as well.

Happy 4th of July from Maya wishing you all a doggone good day.

Closing PTSD awareness month, we wanted to highlight one of our favorite CBD brands. CBD can also be a wonderful tool to combat PTSD symptoms such as depression, trouble sleeping, and anxiety.

In many studies, CBD was shown to reduce anxiety in patients with social anxiety disorder. Additionally, studies have shown that small dosages of CBD has had an “Active” effect, which means that it actually helps you stay active and focused to mitigate depression. To be noted, large dosages had the opposite effect: a sedative effect. (More research has to show what is the optimal dosage). Lastly, a study found administration of oral CBD in addition to routine psychiatric care was associated with PTSD symptom reduction in adults with PTSD. CBD also appeared to offer relief in patients who reported frequent nightmares as a symptom of their PTSD.

Bottom line: Talk with your health care provider about treatment options, and follow your treatment plan. Engage in exercise, mindfulness, or other activities that help reduce stress. Try to maintain routines for meals, exercise, and sleep. Set realistic goals and do what you can as you are able.
Spend time with trusted friends or relatives, and tell them about things that may trigger symptoms. Expect your symptoms to improve gradually, not immediately. .

We at Rezac and Associates Physical Therapy are aware that discrimination in health care is real. In fact, 19% of patients are refused medical care due to their transgender or gender non-conforming status, 28% of transgender respondents had postponed medical care because they feared disrespect and harassment, and 50% reported having to teach their medical providers about transgender care.
Overall, the realities of the health care discrimination, combined with widespread provider ignorance of LGBTQIA+ health needs deters patients from seeking and receiving quality health care.
However, at Rezac and Associates Physical Therapy we want our LGBTQIA+ patients to feel supported at all times. Our goal is to make everyone feel heard and included in a safe and healing environment. We treat each and every patient as an individual with ongoing listening, education, and effort — and we are committed to doing this work. We want to continue to dispel the q***r community's hesitation when it comes to seeking care.

On Memorial Day, we take time to remember and celebrate all who have given the ultimate sacrifice while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Since the K-9 Corps official birth in 1942 and long before, tens of thousands of dogs have bravely served this country alongside their fellow servicemen and women. Because of them, husbands, wives, sons, daughters, and everyone in between have been able to return home to be with their families. We wanted to honor their sacrifice and service as we head into this Memorial Day weekend.

We would like to thank for providing the resources to allow us to showcase these heroic dogs.

From out previous post, You have several options moving forward.
1. You could accept the myth that you shouldn’t run because running is high impact and places more
strain/demand on her pelvic floor.
2. You could workout and run anyways but just “go slow” and “be careful.” And hope you can determine
what slow and careful is.
3. Or you join us and go through these guidelines together. They will give you an excellent evidence based framework to follow for SAFE return to running after baby.
I HOPE you choose option 3 friend! As healthcare providers the responsibility is on US to guide, steer,
and help you achieve your goals with the highest quality of life possible!
Well, lets go through some excellent evidence-based guidelines to follow for SAFE return to exercise
after baby.
