The one who stretches for thirty seconds before bed and calls it self-care. The one who keeps meaning to do something about it as soon as things slow down — and who will probably spend this Mother's Day taking care of everyone else before she takes care of herself. Things don't slow down. You already know this.

(And Is It Right for You?)]]></title><description><![CDATA[I get some version of this question every week: "Can physical therapy really work through a screen?" It's a fair question — and one I asked myself before I built my entire practice around the answer. I spent years working in traditional outpatient orthopedic settings and watched a pattern repeat itself that I couldn't ignore: patients waiting months just to be evaluated, then another two weeks or more between follow-ups with no way to reach anyone in between.   Different PT every visit.

Really hard. And when shoulder pain shows up, it's rarely a simple fix — which is why so many overhead athletes end up managing it for months or years without resolution. The frustrating part is that most of these athletes aren't ignoring their bodies. They're stretching, icing, taking rest days — doing everything they've been told. But the shoulder keeps flaring....]]></description><link>https://www.pacetailoredvirtualpt.com/post/shoulder-pain-in-overhead-athletes-what-s-actually-going-on-in-there</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69ed3ebc81e17196bd28cdc6</guid><pubDate>Wed, 08 Apr 2026 03:07:02 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/7100e9_88070bddbc97491fbab73294817e346e~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Jessica Pace</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Is Virtual PT Covered by Insurance?]]></title><description><![CDATA[It's one of the most common questions I get — and also one of the most important to answer clearly, because the honest answer directly shapes whether virtual PT is the right path for you. The short answer: it depends. Insurance coverage for virtual physical therapy exists, but it comes with enough asterisks, visit caps, prior authorization requirements, and plan-by-plan variability that many people find the system more frustrating than helpful.

You change your smoke detector batteries. Maybe it's time to run the same kind of audit on how you're holding your body. Spring is a natural reset point — and the weeks between the end of winter sedentary season and the start of summer activity season are the perfect time to address the posture and movement patterns that accumulated all winter. The problem is that most people don't notice those patterns until they're already dealing with a flare-up.

Patients come in having been told to "just take it easy" or having assumed it was an inevitable part of getting older. In most cases, neither of those things is true.

Not because people lack willpower, but because the goals were never designed to last in the first place. As a physical therapist with over a decade of clinical experience, I've watched the same cycle repeat: people go hard, get hurt or burn out, and end up worse than where they started.
