Happy National Physical Therapy Month! 🙌🏽

⭐️ Before the month ends, let’s make sure to show some love and appreciation to our PTs! They definitely go the distance for our patients (and with our patients if you know what we mean 😂) 🙌🏽

Swipe through to learn more about PTs, including Erwin Valencia DPT, a proud Filipino in the field! And make sure to follow us @papa.org1975 so you don’t miss any of our future posts! 🇵🇭
