It aims to educate the public about the benefits of physical therapy, including pain management, rehabilitation, and overall wellness. The month serves as an opportunity to raise awareness of conditions that physical therapists treat, such as musculoskeletal injuries, chronic pain, and mobility issues. It also emphasizes the importance of early intervention and preventive care, showcasing how physical therapy can enhance quality of life and promote independence. Overall, National Physical Therapy Month fosters a better understanding of the profession’s value in supporting recovery, enhancing performance, and improving patient outcomes. We are delighted to announce Danielle Edwards as our first spotlight for this month.
