October is National Physical Therapy Month.  Physical therapists play a vital role in the health and safety of the elderly.  From working with post-surgery issues to Parkinson’s to arthritis to falls prevention, physical therapists have the training to make you feel better and do more.  The American Physical Therapy Association has helpful information on this special month and what you can do to reduce pain, prevent disability and improve mobility.  Also, see their special tips on walking aids like canes and walkers.  And find these helpful products for aids to daily living.
