National Physical Therapy Month – What moves you?

Posted on 10/1/2021

At Kessler Rehabilitation Center, we believe movement is medicine. So, what moves you? Physical activity is key to good health, vitality, energy, strength and might even make you laugh more.

If pain or a medical condition is holding you back, we’re here to help. Physical therapy is a moving experience.

Physical therapy gets you back to life and the things that are most important to you. Whether it’s running a marathon, playing with the grandkids or simply cooking dinner pain-free, the benefits of physical therapy can change lives for the better.

That’s why we’re excited it is October, one of our favorite months of the year. Why, you may ask? October is National Physical Therapy Month. For 31 days, we get to celebrate all things physical therapy and the many ways our dedicated physical therapists and physical therapist assistants help improve the quality of life.

There is so much to share about the benefits of physical therapy, including the highly-trained clinicians who provide it. Did you know that physical therapy helps people manage pain and chronic conditions? How about the power of physical therapy to help heal from recent injury and reduce the risk of future injury? Or prepare the body for surgery and successful recovery or avoid the need for surgery altogether? Well, physical therapy does all this and more.

Physical therapy is also a safe alternative to taking prescription medication. It treats common aches and strains, sprains and fractures, and helps with many other issues and conditions, including:

  • Back sprain/strain
  • COVID-19 fatigue and other debilitating illnesses
  • Headaches and concussions
  • Vertigo, dizziness and balance
  • Disc injury and pinched nerves
  • Rotator cuff tear, bursitis and frozen shoulder…and more

So, what moves you? That marathon? Those grandkids? That culinary masterpiece? Whatever it is, physical therapy, and our compassionate team of licensed therapists, can help get you moving.

Request an appointment today and see how physical therapy can physically, emotionally and mentally enrich your life.
