To celebrate National Physical Therapy Month, the Physical Therapy & Wellness Institute (PTW) hosted a Community Health and Wellness Open House event at their Lansdale, PA, facility.
Over 150 visitors received flu shots and received complimentary health analysis from the physical therapy staff and exercise physiologist. Health analysis included body fat, body mass index, box flexibility testing, and complimentary joint pain evaluations by physical therapists Robert Babb, Andrew Seo and Mike Karl.
Visitors also experimented in the "PT Pit," testing a variety of high-end physical therapy equipment, such as slide boards, body blades, balance equipment, and other pieces designed to help the clients achieve higher levels of function and performance.
During the day, Andrew Szekely, mayor of Lansdale, visited with a proclamation encouraging all Lansdale community members to joint together to raise awareness of the importance of preventative health. He thanked PTW for their effort in bringing awareness to our community, and encouraged all North Penn community members to visit the Physical Therapy & Wellness Institute for complimentary health assessments during National Physical Therapy Month and beyond.
In recognition of their youth sports programs, Robert Babb, president of PTW, presented a charitable gift of $500 to Cathy Shipp of the North Penn Valley Boys & Girls Club.
The day closed with a lunch-and-learn presentation on joint pain. "The success to this day is a testimony of how the public is thinking about their health, taking care of themselves during this rough economic time, carefully spending time on what it takes to stay healthy," explained Robert Babb, owner and practicing physical therapist
