Physical therapy touches all parts of our lives not just the professional side! Happy Physical Therapy Month! #ChoosePT
☀️Photo made possible by Physical Therapy.🌴 My entire professional career PTs & PTAs have taught me, encouraged me, empowered me, and challenged me (in a good way 😅). These past 2 years, they have done the same in double measure, in every healthcare setting, for my dad. I am forever grateful. Happy Physical Therapy Month!
