Like every great specialty, National Physical Therapy Month has a great premise: “MOVING YOU TO BETTER HEALTH” is this year’s theme.

October is the month to collectively celebrate physical therapy and to be celebrated as a Physical Therapist. Every year, the APTA encourages providers around the nation to emphasize activities to promote community wellness, and increase awareness of the benefits of physical therapy. Their web site (www.apta.org) is currently offering suggestions, tips, ideas and free downloads on how to promote your services in conjunction with National Physical Therapy Month.

Physical Therapy offices across the country are holding special clinics and offering brochures on how to improve the overall health of their patients and community.
