CIGNA

Due to an almost total lack of reimbursement we at WISPC have decided to stop accepting new patients with CIGNA health insurance. We apologizes for the inconvenience but there is no reason to continue accepting CIGNA if we are not payed for treatment rendered. Current patients with CIGNA health insurance will be notified individually how this will effect their treatment. Once again we apologize. The most constructive thing you, as the insured patient, can do is call and complain to CIGNA about their coverage or in this case lack thereof.

Warmer Weather Means More Training Opportunities

Now that we are experiencing our first warm spell don’t you want to get outside and be more active? Remember that you can enjoy the warmer weather more if you take a few precautions before you start to exercise again.

1) Make sure that you set a realistic goal. Don’t go out and run 10 miles if you haven’t been running all winter.

2) Even though you may be feeling warmer your muscles still need a good warm up. Spend 5-10 minutes performing an active warm up that mimics what you are about to do.

3) While exercising make sure to get plenty of fluids. You may not sweat that much but your body has more than likely been depleted all winter because of heated environments.

4) Listen to your body. If some activity feels like it is too much. STOP!

5) After training make sure that you eat a good meal (lots of carbs and protein) within two hours. Also continue to drink fluids and ice anything that may be sore. This will help decrease soreness tomorrow and allow you to get back outside again.

6) Most of all enjoy yourself! No one is trying to PR in any event today. You will have months of training to get you  there.

7) If you do injury yourself seek treatment immediately. It is far better to rest and recover now instead of right before your event months from now. 

Feel free to contact WISPC at 202-363-1011 if you have any injury concerns or just have questions about preventing injuries.
