Find out more about how you can participate in the mindful movement classes offered at The Wellness Station, including Breakout Yoga and Awareness Through Movement.
Dancing With Gravity
Experience the inherent joy of varying and exploring your relationship with gravity. Practice moving your center of mass back over your base of support in a variety of ways to facilitate suppleness of the spine and fluidity of movement. This will help prevent falls by improving equilibrium responses and creating a greater sense of ease and joy of movement.
Balance For Life
Balance tends to decline with age and inactivity. Do not let these difficult circumstances affect your balance and increase your risk of falling. Follow this blog to gather insight in the mysterious systems that allow us to maintain our balance, and learn more about the services The Wellness Station offers that can help enhance these systems.
Latest Update: Insurance & Telehealth
Our commitment to our patients at The Wellness Station is to provide an exceptional level of care that significantly improves both comfort and function.
We are pleased to report that most insurances are now including telehealth as part of their covered services, so you are able to resume your sessions remotely at the cost of your standard copay.
Good news! If you have original/traditional Medicare coverage it is now covering telehealth sessions retroactive to March 1.
We were offering no fee evaluations, and then cash pay at a reduced rate after that, but you can now engage in telehealth sessions with the same coverage and copays as if you were in person with your therapist. If you have a Medicare Advantage plan, your coverage remains the same as in house sessions, as well.
The telehealth sessions are proving to be very well received and beneficial. We look forward to guiding you to continue your progress and to move better and feel better!
Stay well, The Wellness Station team
PS: Keep in mind the programs we are offering that you have seen in the newsletter. They will help you and others in the community thrive and feel more alive!
Reflections on Giving and Receiving
In the context of Covid-19, may these words sink in and support the giver and receiver within each of us. So many are in need and so many want to give to varying degrees, but it is vital to embrace both at a time like this.
When Giving is Receiving
In giving what may be required is to contemplate a cause, a group or a person -finding the essence of a need or desire.
Through attentiveness and deep caring the giver may surprise the recipient(s) by showing that someone else understands them and through a display of giving virtuosity, can even identify needs they may not have been aware of or could not admit to themselves.
Benefits of Being a Giver
The recipient has the astonishing ability to acknowledge both the somebody who has given and the something that is given to them.
As far as we know, no other corner of creation but a human being has the ability to fully acknowledge the spirit of another in this way.
To give is to take an imaginative journey and put oneself in the body, the mind and the anticipation of another.
To give is to make our own identities more real in the world by committing to something specific in the other person and something tangible that could represent that quality.
To give is also to carry out the difficult task of putting something of our own essence in what we have given.
Giving is a form of attention itself, a way of acknowledging and giving thanks for lives other than our own.
Giving is a“ mutually blessed“ experience.
Peace and well-being,
Paul
