Patient Success Spotlight
We can help with all kinds of aches and pains. Check out one of our other patient success stories!
WHAT IS NATIONAL PHYSICAL THERAPY MONTH ALL ABOUT? For almost 40 years, physical therapy has been celebrated by official proclamation. And since 1992, October is the month for honoring physical therapists and the important role they play in healing
people in pain. In the modern era of social media, hashtags like #UsePhysicalTherapy and #ChoosePT have helped spread the word. Physical Therapy Month allows patients to share their stories about how PT has changed their lives for the better. It also gives physical therapists a forum for spreading the word about the different kinds of treatment patients can receive. Many members of the general public don’t realize that aside from specialized exercises that build strength and flexibility, PT also offers pain management through massage, heat and cold applications, and specialized electronic-pulse devices. If you have any questions about whether you should #UsePhysicalTherapy , call our office today to discuss your condition and to set up an evaluation.
“This place was new to me. It is a very nice place to be. When I first started it was very easy. After I had my surgery, I had difficulty doing a lot of things. Since then, Curtis has helped me a lot and has been very encouraging to me throughout this whole process. Now I cannot wait to get back into sports! Thank you, Axcess for all the help!“ - Riley D
