Once again it is National Physical Therapy Month (NPTM) with falls prevention as this year’s theme. NPTM was started by the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) to recognize the importance of physical therapy in healthcare. Physical therapy is a medical service provided by trained physical therapists who help patients improve movement, strength and manage pain after an illness or injury.
As a company firmly committed to helping people with balance, stability and mobility, we applaud the specific focus on falls prevention. Falls can result in injury that further inhibit one's ability to overcome issues with any or all of the three. Fortunately, APTA has provided resources to help prevent falls, definitely worth a read!
Here’s to NPTM and "The Freedom to Move"!
