Every October we celebrate National Physical Therapy Month to raise awareness with consumers about the many benefits of physical therapy. It's also a great opportunity to appreciate what PTs, PTAs, and students do to transform lives.
This year's theme will be the "Value of PT." Its meaning goes beyond the cost savings of physical therapy to highlight the ways physical therapy improves your quality of life. The cost data component will be highlighted in "The Economic Value of Physical Therapy in the United States," an evidence-based report by APTA (publishing soon).
