Today kicks off National Physical Therapy Month (NPTM) - a time to celebrate the amazing work done by our physical therapists to restore and maintain function, and improve people’s lives without using potentially harmful and addictive medication. This month also gives us an opportunity to raise awareness of physical therapy as a safe, effective alternative route to medication such as opioids for treatment of chronic pain conditions. PT is “the safer way to manage pain.”
Help us celebrate NPTM by sharing a review about your physical therapy treatment at our clinic - individual shoutouts are highly encouraged 😉
