National Physical Therapy month, free appointments
During October--National Physical Therapy Month--Northwest Physical Therapy, Inc. will be offering free "Ask a Therapist" appointments to the public. These appointments will be available at all 4 outpatient locations, including Bluffton.
An "Ask a Therapist" appointment takes approx. 10-15 minutes and will be performed by a licensed clinician. These free appointments can help identify issues that may be causing unnecessary pain.
“People don’t often realize that the pain and lack of movement they deal with everyday doesn’t have to be a part of their life,” states Wanda Dean, physical therapist and owner of Northwest Physical Therapy. Ms. Dean continues, “A physical therapist is a highly trained medical professional that 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 "Ask a Therapist" appointment during the month of October, call the Bluffton office at 419-358-6978.
