The True Worth of Movement: Health Network One Celebrates National Physical Therapy Month
Health Network One
The leader in delegated specialty networks managed under full risk.
As October unfolds, we take a moment to appreciate our remarkable physical therapists and PT assistants. Their commitment and skill have been instrumental in elevating the lives of countless patients and revolutionizing the healthcare landscape.
For over three decades, National Physical Therapy Month has shined a spotlight on those who stand on the front lines of care, seeing patients through an injury or illness that has limited their mobility every step of the way. Physical therapists essentially restore their level of functioning — no wonder people see them as heroes.
This year’s NPTM theme emphasizes the "Value of PT."
According to the American Physical Therapy Association’s website, APTA.org, — the intrinsic value of PT is invaluable — transcending mere cost savings by underscoring how physical therapy profoundly enhances the quality of life.
It’s something Health Network One’s Chief Clinical Officer, Dr. Edward Cabrera, gets to experience first-hand. “The 'Value of PT' is immeasurable. It's not just about the financial aspect but the priceless improvement in a patient's daily life,” said Dr. Cabrera. “Physical therapists are the architects of movement. They not only rehabilitate, but rejuvenate, ensuring every step we take is pain-free and purposeful.”
Let’s Take a Look at the Magical Value of PT
Pain Alleviation: Therapeutic methods restore joint and muscle functionality, ensuring lasting relief — in many circumstances without the need for medications.
A Natural Pain Solution: PTs offer holistic treatments, reducing dependency on opioids.
Surgery Prevention: Effective pain management can often negate the need for invasive procedures.
Sports Injury Prevention: PTs craft specialized programs to mitigate sports-related risks.

Dr. Cabrera adds, “Physical therapy is more than a service; it's a lifeline. It's about understanding each individual's journey and ensuring they move through life with confidence and joy.”
