October is PT Month! Physical Therapists work with people of all ages, assisting them to regain mobility, strength, and flexibility, taking pre-existing conditions into account. They also facilitate return to sport and recreational activities through specialized treatment plans by guiding clients through exercise, progressive mobilization, and providing education and access to community resources, as well as addressing pain that often accompanies the healing process. We appreciate our Therapy Team.
