Celebrate National Physical Therapy Month

October is National Physical Therapy month! As the leaves begin to change and we feel a chill in the air, now is the perfect time, as a Physical Therapist or Physical Therapist Assistant, to pat yourself on the shoulder for all of the work you do and the good that comes from it.

As many healthcare workers do, we focus so much on pushing ourselves to help others with their own treatment and wellness, that we oftentimes neglect ourselves. Take time this month to not only take pride in your career choice, but to make sure your patients get the healthiest and most focused you. With all the different activities in the fall, take the opportunity to get outside and take advantage of them.

Some ideas to consider:

  • Visit a pumpkin patch. It’s a fun time for families to pick out pumpkins together.
  • Go on a nature hike. Bring along a field guide to identify different kinds of trees.
  • Take a hayride. Find a local farm in your area who offers these.  It’s a great way to kick back and enjoy nature with those who may not be up for a long walk.

Most importantly, have fun! You definitely deserve it.

And, Aureus Medical would like to thank all of the Physical Therapists and Physical Therapist Assistants for your hard work each and every day! Don’t forget that during the month of October, you can earn up to $1,500 for referring a PT or PTA!
