Happy National Physical Therapy Month!

Each year when October rolls around, we get to celebrate National Physical Therapy Month! 

What makes physical therapy different? It is a one-on-one approach tailored specifically for each and every patient. There is no one-size-fits-all treatment approach.

Physical therapy is a profession that comes with a high level of happiness. This may be due to the personalized approach that physical therapists take. They work one-on-one with their patients, helping them to improve their quality of life.

The results are rewarding for both physical therapist and patient, as they get to see amazing results from their hard work and watch it pay off. This pay off could come in the form of better balance, improved strength, steadier legs, the ability to walk again, a stronger body, and so much more.

In honor of National Physical Therapy Month and all of the ways that it can benefit you, here are a few fun facts about physical therapy.
