❤️ October is National Physical Therapy Month!
Physical therapy has been a part of my life for almost two decades, and I’m incredibly grateful for the career I chose.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of meeting people during some of their most challenging moments—after surgery, following an injury, when they’re in pain, when they’ve lost confidence in their bodies, or when they simply want to get back to feeling like themselves again.
And that’s what I’ve always loved about physical therapy. We don’t just treat a diagnosis. We get to know the person behind it. We celebrate the first step, the first pain-free movement, the return to work, the return to the field or stage, and all of those little victories that can mean everything to the person experiencing them.
After 18 years in outpatient orthopedics, I’m still learning, growing, and finding new ways to serve people through this profession. Physical therapy has allowed me to be a clinician, educator, mentor, business owner, and advocate—and I’m thankful for every chapter.
This month, I’m especially grateful for my fellow PTs and PTAs and for every patient who has trusted me to be a part of their journey.
❤️Happy National Physical Therapy Month!
