In an effort to help fellow health care providers and patients, we continue to add to our educational video library. We recently added 4 more videos, demonstrating the latest of what we are working on in the realm of balance and vestibular rehabilitation. Learn from them, pass the links on to patients and colleagues as an educational resource – how ever they can help. We continue to add more to our YouTube account, so come back often to visit: PhysicalTherapyNWRA. Here are links to some of our most recent additions:

Combined Sections Meeting: 2012

Mike and Brady have returned from another successful Combined Sections Meeting. This year, the World’s largest meeting of physical therapists was in Chicago -12,400 people strong. Our presentations (3) about neuropathy, translating science to the clinic, and fall prevention were all very well received. It is always so invigorating and stimulating to interact with colleagues from across the nation that we have already drafted our proposals for the 2013 meeting. We always have room to learn and improve!

Yes. That’s right. Thanks to the efforts of Rene’e (that’s now Renee James, MPT, OCS, CMP) and Brady (now Brady Whetten, PT, DPT, GCS) we can now “boast” that we MAY be the ONLY outpatient clinic in the WORLD with three different APTA board certified therapists of these three specialty areas: Neurologic (Mike); Orthopedic (Rene’e) and Geriatric (Brady). Representatives of American Physical Therapy Association did some research on this one…Thanks APTA!

Thank you staff and clients!

We were open for rehabilitation on the 26th of December – thanks to the great efforts of the NWRA family. We had an additional agenda and purpose on that day, as we pledged $50.00 to Marion Polk Food Share (MPFS) for every patient seen. We are proud to announce that due to these successful efforts – we raised over 10,000 POUNDS of food for MPFS. Thank you to our clients and staff for these efforts. We love what we do and this makes it even more fulfilling!
