🎀October is National breast cancer awareness month!

This month we recognize those affected by breast cancer, honor survivors, and raise awareness about the support available through diagnosis, treatment, and recovery.

At Ankeny PT Partners, Anne Deaton specializes in breast cancer rehabilitation and lymphedema management. Through individualized care, physical therapy can help improve mobility, manage symptoms, rebuild strength, and support return to the activities you love.

💗 Every recovery journey is different, and you deserve care tailored to your needs.

Fun Friday Challenge: find the number on the goniometer without seeing the numbers

09/30/2026

In Iowa, physical therapists can evaluate and treat patients with or without a physician referral. This is called direct access.

Direct access can make it easier to address pain, movement problems, balance concerns, or injuries without having to wait for another appointment first.

One important note: insurance requirements can vary. For example, Medicare often requires a referral.

Have a question about whether physical therapy could help you? Give Ankeny PT Partners a call, we’d be happy to talk to you.

We take pride in doing a good job with our patients, so sometimes it’s okay to pat yourself on the back.

When your doctor recommends physical therapy, you can choose where you receive your care. Your physician may have a clinic they commonly refer to, but that doesn’t mean it’s your only option.

Have a PT referral and not sure where to go? We’d love to help! Give us a call to learn more about how we can help you reach your goals. ❤️

💪Plank Challenge!

Think a plank is easy? Try this!

Balancing on a BOSU ball while trying to the ball into the center adds an extra challenge to this plank, requiring shoulder stability, core strength, balance, and coordination.

But rehab doesn’t always have to feel like work! Turning exercises into a fun game can keep patients engaged while still challenging important skills.

Would you be able to complete the challenge?

Treatment and a show? Yes please! We don’t run behind very often, but when we do, our techs are always there to help.
