Find Pain Relief with Digital Physical Therapy
It’s common to dismiss feelings of body soreness, stiffness and pain as something that will go away or that you can push through, such as back pain, neck pain or stiff joints. But without proper treatment, these kinds of issues can worsen — affecting your ability to comfortably complete daily tasks or leading to future injury.
If you’re struggling with joint and muscle pain and have healthcare coverage through SEIU 775 Benefits Group, you have access to physical therapy and digital tools including MedBridge and Hinge Health to help manage and ease your pain at no additional cost.
