October is National Physical Therapy Month

National Physical Therapy Month, sponsored by the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), is a nationwide observance held each October. This year’s theme, “Move Forward: Physical Therapy Brings Motion to Life” reflects the physical therapist brand, “Physical therapists help you to restore and improve motion to achieve long-term quality of life.”

Physical Therapists are highly educated, licensed health care professionals who can help patients reduce pain and improve or restore mobility without, in many cases, the use of expensive surgery or the side effects of prescription medications.
