Happy National Physical Therapy Month

Every October the American Physical Therapy Association recognizes practitioners across the nation. Everyday our physical therapists and Physical Therapist Assistants help their patients.

While we see the incredible work of our therapists daily, we also would like to join the rest of industry in celebrating all clinicians’ efforts.
