Stay healthy this holiday season with virtual physical therapy

It’s that time of year again: when healthy habits fall to the wayside as holiday parties, treats, and spiked eggnog take over. Most of us tell ourselves we’ll institute some changes in January but what if you started some healthy habits now? SWORD Health offers a new virtual physical care program for employees of Miami-Dade County, and their dependents 18 years old and older, who are enrolled in one of the County's AvMed health plans at no additional cost.

The virtual physical care program treats back, joint and muscle pain by pairing you with a physical therapist for clinically proven at-home treatment. SWORD's easy-to-use technology can reduce your pain by up to 70 percent, according to SWORD clinical studies.

How SWORD Works:

1. Your dedicated physical therapist designs an exercise program just for you
2. SWORD will ship you a tablet and motion sensors to guide you and provide real-time feedback during your exercises
3. Complete your exercise sessions wherever and whenever it is convenient for you
4. Your physical therapist is there to support you virtually and is available to chat at any time

Try virtual physical therapy at zero cost. Schedule a video call with a physical therapist and get started.
