October is National Physical Therapy Month (NPTM). This celebration began in 1981 as National Physical Therapy Week and then in 1992 became National Physical Therapy Month. NPTM, sponsored by the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), acknowledges October as a month to recognize physical therapists and physical therapist assistants for their hard work as well as educate the community about the PT profession. This year the theme is "Physical Therapy: It's All About Movement." Movement is a vital part of physical therapy. Your physical therapist is an expert of movement and is able to help you move forward. Whether it be movement toward your goals or simply moving safely and effectively around your house and/or community, movement is essential for everyone.
