Every October, we celebrate National Physical Therapy Month to raise consumer awareness 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 October, APTA will highlight the importance of physical therapy in promoting resilience and supporting strength, mobility, and overall wellness throughout the lifespan to optimize the health span, the period of life when people are generally healthy and free from preventable chronic disease.
This year's theme and new consumer awareness campaign, "PT For Future Me," highlights physical therapy's role in enhancing movement and function in people of every age and ability. It emphasizes prevention, wellness, and improving mobility and strength to support all aspects of work, life, and play.
