National Physical Therapy Month (#PTmonth) is an annual opportunity to recognize the impact of physical therapists and physical therapist assistants in restoring and improving motion and quality of life.

This October, the focus is on healthy aging (#AgeWell) and the many ways that physical therapists, as movement experts, can help individuals overcome pain, gain and maintain movement, and preserve their independence. The American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) has compiled some excellent resources that we would like to share with you.

Proper amounts of physical activity can prevent or delay many symptoms and conditions often associated with aging. Do you know what you need to do to age well?
