World Physical Therapy Day: Monday, Sept. 8

WPTDCelebrate World Physical Therapy Day With Us

Please help us celebrate World Physical Therapy Day on Monday, September 8.  The day is an opportunity for physical therapists from all over the world to raise awareness about the crucial contribution the profession makes to keeping people well, mobile and independent.  

This year’s campaign message is Fit to Take Part.   Having a long-term illness or disability should not mean you can’t lead a fulfilled life. Research shows that people with a disability are less likely to be employed or to be playing an active part in society.  Fit to take part embraces the important role physical therapists have in helping people fulfill their potential.  To download the Fit to Take Part brochure, CLICK HERE.

Physical Therapy Month – Daily Tip

APTA- Move Forward Tip of the Day: “Succeed with a low impact fitness program before increasing intensity to reduce injury risk.” – Alicia F., PT, DPT, from Kentucky

This is a great tip. All too often people go out too hard and too aggressive. And as a result they get hurt and they quit.

The higher the impact, the greater the forces on the body. This increase in force demands more strength.  Without the strength and stability for an activity, your body will fail.

When starting a new exercise, start slowly. Prove to yourself that you have the strength to do it. As you gain strength your endurance for the activity will naturally increase.

Set your goals high but take small steps to get there.
