Happy Physical Therapy Month!
October is Physical Therapy Month, and time is running out to celebrate! If your facility hasn’t done anything special yet, there are several fun ideas to honor the month. You could host a free workshop to show the public the benefits of PT, visit local schools to promote active lifestyles to kids, or any other these other awesome ideas.
Whatever you decide, make sure you spend the month helping people understand the value of your work!

With the help of speech pathologists, these children can develop and improve their language capacities.
