October is here and the smell of Pumpkin Spice Lattes are wafting through the air.  Not only is there room for celebrating the lower temperatures, but there is plenty of room to celebrate physical therapy.

Join Above & Beyond Physical Therapy in the celebration of National Physical Therapy Month to celebrate physical therapy and raise awareness of the roles within the field and their dedication to their patients by helping them decrease pain, improve mobility and engage in a healthy lifestyle.  

Here’s some quick background on National Physical Therapy Month:  

  • Originally known as National Therapy Week, this event used to occur in June.
  • The event was moved to October in 1992 in order to avoid conflict with the APTA’s annual conference and expo.
  • The celebration expanded from one week to one month. We agree that a week is definitely not long enough to dedicate to this amazing field of workers!
  • Each year there is a new theme.  Past themes have focused on may physical therapy specialties including posture, balance, fitness and obesity and sports injury prevention.

ABOVE & BEYOND PHYSICAL THERAPY’S MISSION IS TO TREAT, EDUCATE AND ENABLE THEIR PATIENTS WHILE PROVIDING THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF RESPECT AND COURTESY. THEIR TEAM OF PROFESSIONALS’ GOAL IS TO ENHANCE THE LIVES OF THEIR PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES. MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TODAY!

Physical therapists are highly educated, licensed health care professionals who help patients reduce pain and improve or restore mobility.  

As we look back on the wonderful year we have had so far with our patients, we are excited for the future and what’s to come.  October is the perfect month to reflect on our growth and the strides we’re all making to improve the health of patients.

This month—and always—we sing our hard working team’s praises and want the world to know why physical therapy matters.  National Physical Therapy Month is a time to be thankful and spread the word as to why physical therapy is so valuable.  

Happy National Physical Therapy Month!
