October is National Physical Therapy Month and we here at Altitude wanted to take a moment to celebrate and reflect on why each of us pursued a career in this profession. Physical Therapy is a very rewarding profession and nearly 100% of the time, physical therapists choose this path due to a deep desire to help others. Please enjoy these career catalyst stories from our PTs here at Altitude! 

​To conclude our National Physical Therapy month blog series, we have gathered together some of
our physical therapists’ thoughts on what National PT month means to them. Enjoy!

​October is National Physical Therapy month, so I thought I’d take this opportunity to write a series of informative articles on physical therapy- what is it, how long has it been around, who can benefit from it, etc.  It only makes sense, that the first in this series should go back to the beginning of physical therapy to provide a brief history of how we got to where we are today!
