As you are all aware, October is the month to celebrate our profession as physical therapists and physical therapist assistants. To further our profession, we should each play an active role in bettering ourselves as practitioners, while also being a great example for other therapists, students and the general public. Now is an ideal time to educate others on what we do as a profession and the role we can play in improving function and decreasing pain. It's also a great time to educate ourselves with great online CE courses!
Virtual Conference Recording Now Available!
Our Issues in Geriatric Physical Therapy Virtual Conference was a great success. But don’t take my word for it. Here are a few testimonials from your colleagues:
"It helped me to better understand how to treat patients with neurodegenerative diseases which I see on a daily basis and how to get them to function and participate better than when they came to therapy."
"Excellent content and exercise examples that are very applicable to my SNF setting." "Interesting topic and presenter. Practical exercises at the end were good." If you missed it the recordings are now available. View Now.
