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- Exercise Challenge of the Week, The Sit to Stand

This week’s exercise challenge is the sit to stand. The sit to stand is a great exercise for trunk and lower body strength. It is a fundamental movement pattern and can be a great tool to identify asymmetries and unilateral weaknesses. Perform slowly with controlled movements. Notice if you favor one side or the other.  Work to be as symmetrical as possible. Repeat 10-15 repetitions 3 times this week.

Check out this video to learn how to include the right sit to stand exercise for you.

Thank you for recognizing Physical Therapy Month and participating in our exercise challenge. We’d love to here what you think of the exercises and invite you to comment on your favorite exercises.
