Physical therapy — care that helps patients move, function and live better — dates back to 460 BC when Hippocrates used water therapy and physical activity for muscle and joint ailments. Modern physical therapy still helps patients recover and heal, although with the benefit of technology like robotics and bionics. The U.S. is home to more than 233,000 physical therapists, and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects jobs for these professionals to grow 21% from 2020-2030.

On World Physical Therapy Day on September 8, hospitals, outpatient clinics and private physical therapy offices can use promotional products to inspire wellness and help patients improve their overall health.

In this issue of Promotional Consultant Today, we present a few promotional products for physical therapists and their patients.
