Each October, we celebrate National Physical Therapy Month to raise awareness about the many benefits of physical therapy and ESPECIALLY to appreciate all that our physical therapists at Harkness Center for Dance Injuries do to transform the lives of dancers and performing artists.

The 2026 theme is “PT For Future Me,” and it highlights the importance of physical therapy in promoting resilience and supporting strength, mobility, and overall wellness throughout the lifespan—goals that our PTs dedicate themselves to daily.

We look forward to celebrating them throughout this month!
