Northwest Physical Therapy, Inc. will be offering free therapy screens to the public during the month of October, which is National Physical Therapy Month.

These screens will be available at all four outpatient locations in Bluffton, Delphos, Ottawa and Lima.

A physical therapy screening takes approximately 10-15 minutes and will be performed by a licensed clinician. A therapy screening helps identify issues that may be causing unnecessary pain.

“People don’t often realize that the pain they deal with everyday doesn’t have to be a part of their life,” said Wanda Dean, physical therapist and owner of Northwest Physical Therapy.

Dean added, “A physical therapist is a highly trained medical professional who is able to identify key factors that may be attributing to chronic back pain, headaches, knee pain, etc. Once these factors are identified, the therapist works with the patient to provide long-term relief through education and very specific interventions.”

To schedule a free therapy screening during the month of October, call the Bluffton office, located in the Bluffton Family Recreation building, 215 Snider Road, at 419-358-6978
