October is National Physical Therapy Month! We here at Anderson & Cattone Physical Therapy celebrate our profession all year round and want to continue to educate the public about PT. Physical therapists are “movement experts who optimize quality of life through prescribed exercise, hands-on care and patient education.” (APTA.org) We teach proper body mechanics to allow you to enjoy your daily activities and athletic pursuits in a pain free and safe manner! While we at Anderson & Cattone PT specialize in outpatient orthopedics, women’s health and sports PT, there are a variety of subspecialties within physical therapy. Some of those specialties include cardiovascular and pulmonary, Geriatrics, Neurology, Oncology, Pediatrics, Sports and Women’s Health. Based on the wide range of subspecialties, physical therapists also practice in an array of settings from a hospital to a patient’s home to schools and research centers. As of January 1, 2016 all graduate physical therapy programs transitioned from a master’s degree to a doctoral degree which meant including more didactic work and clinical training. Therefore, all of the PT’s at ANCPT are doctors of physical therapy. The transition to the DPT facilitated the ability for PT’s to see patients without a doctor’s prescription so make sure to have ANCPT be your first stop when dealing with musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction! #ChoosePT #trustmephysiotherapist #thestrengththerapist #physioresearch #fitnessphysio #evidencebasedmvmt #rehabscience #mikereinold #theprehabguys #muscleandmotion #chicagosportsdoc #lenmacpt #physicaltherapyresearch #rethinkingphysiotherapy #apta #physionetwork #neufitrfp
