October is National Physical Therapy Month, a time when physical therapists look to educate the public on exactly what we do and whom we help.

In short, it is our job and mission to work with people recovering from sprains, strains, aches and pains. We help people recovering from surgery, broken bones and trauma. We treat people who have suffered strokes, brain injuries and spinal cord injuries, those with Parkinson’s Disease and many other conditions. We also seek to help prevent surgeries whenever possible.
