strength for proper stabilization and mobility.
in northern Washington, in a beautiful coastal town called Port Townsend. The house was designed by architect Robert Harvey Oshatz, and has the appearance of a ship looking over the village and water. Its curved concrete, curved wood, and curved steel present constant challenges for the crews. When I travelled out to Seattle for a recent meeting, I wanted desperately to go up to see the project and have Aaron tell me more about it. So, we did it. He pointed out the massive engineering feat of stabilizing thehomewithsuchanunusualdesign, the extensive craftsmanship of the interior and exterior. I truly have never seen anything like it, so I hope it is featured in an architectural magazine orTV show so that I can appreciate the finished product! Similarly, each of us has a body with unique composition,curvedareasandstructuralchallenges. We simply must take good care of what the good Lord has given us and do things each day to feed our systems with nutritious meals and to strengthen and maintain our musculoskeletal system. And just like we would want to protect our homes from the invasion of pests or robbers, don’t we need to pay attention to avoid harmful substances that can damage our bodies and deplete our energy? We know that our homes must be built on a solid rock foundation, so also our bodies must have solid core
This edition of our newsletter spotlights the importance Physical Therapy plays in reclaiming and maintaining our healthy bodies. Since we have regular dental checkups, yearly visits to our optometrists, and hopefully a regular checkup with our physicians, why not include a yearly functional exam by your expert in body maintenance? A muscle strength, posture correction or balance and walking assessment by a caring physical therapist could be a yearly opportunity to actually decrease your healthcare costs in the long run. It seems so logical to include this important checkup for our wellbeing and to correct “structural deficiencies” before they cause pain or loss of function. Let’s put the “ fun ” back in function! Get in here to ZPT and allow us to help. Call today to schedule your “yearly functional exam!”

WHAT IS DIRECT ACCESS? Direct access is exactly what it sounds like: patients having direct access to physical therapy services. This means that they do not need a physician referral or prescription in order to receive the services of physical therapists.
Not long ago, this type of open market was simply a dream for both private practice and hospital-based PTs. But today, some form of direct access exists in every state plus the District of Columbia (the most recent additions being Oklahoma and Michigan), and at the very least, a patient can receive an “evaluation and some form of treatment without physician referral,” explains the APTA.
