This October, the general public and healthcare community, are reaching out to the physical therapist members of our family to thank them for doing what they do best: helping patients regain control over the functions of daily life.
National Physical Therapy Month has grown in popularity over the years and is now a recognized celebration in the National Health Observances Calendar. Find permanent and travel physical therapy jobs across the nation with 50 States Staffing.
Year Round, Physical Therapists Relate to their Patients
The National Physical Therapy Month 2010 theme is: Move Forward: Physical therapists bring motion to life—visitors to the APTA sponsored site are not only practitioners of physical therapy, but patients, who can explore therapy resource materials, compliments of special site features like:
- A nine-question quiz that lets physical therapy patients access their current level of motion
- An information bank about various health conditions seen by physical therapists
- Isolated body parts; to see if one can benefit from physical therapy
- A poll on back pain
- Contact information of state legislators about improving access to healthcare
If you’re a travel nurse who brushes shoulders with colleagues in physical therapy careers, or you provide therapy for patients in rehabilitation hospitals, this is your month to recognize just how important physical therapists are to patients, whose need of this specialized healthcare is expected to rise as Baby Boomers age and wider range of Americans play sports.
This October, let patients know it’s National Physical Therapy Month; give those in need of therapy sessions a referral, or offer existing physical therapy patients more feedback on the strives they are making; read up on physical therapy specialties and certifications—or get on track to obtaining a doctorate in the field.
Get your physical therapy career into high gear with high paying physical therapy jobs. Apply online or call 1-800-996-2206 today.
It’s time to celebrate, thrive in your travel nurse or therapy career and, as wisely advocated by the American Association of Physical Therapy this year, Bring Motion to Life. Thank you physical therapists!

This is really a great field to get into. Physical therapy travel jobs are high paying, but the traveling can be a reward as well.
