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 😉

The number of Americans needing physical therapy care has gone up tremendously this year. And unfortunately, Medicare is about to impose devastating payment cuts that will make it much harder for patients to access PTs and PTAs to get the physical therapy care they need.
Already, with your help, the APTA has reported 25,000 letters were sent to Medicare opposing the 9% cut. Thank you!
However, we still need you to ask Congress to pass legislation that will prevent the 9% cut. With the current instability in the health care system, now is not the time to reduce payment to providers under the Medicare program.
If you know someone on Medicare, ask them to spend 2 minutes to ask Congress to stop CMS's proposed cuts. They can do this by visiting the link below.

When Moko’s not prowling around the clinic keeping all the staff and patients safe from the neighboring squirrels, he loves greeting patients with his big bark, napping, chewing on his bully sticks, destroying his squeaky toys, getting belly rubs and manipulating Shellie for more treats throughout the day.

If you are not a fan of dogs, please just let your provider or front desk know and we can try to get you scheduled on a day when he’s not in the clinic.
As cold and flu season approaches, it is especially important for parents to recognize the signs and symptoms of COVID-19 in children, as many overlap with common illnesses. The CDC notes that while children infected with COVID-19 are less likely to develop severe illness compared with adults, children are still at risk, making it critical to recognize early signs and symptoms.
