IT’S TIME TO FALL BACK INTO PHYSICAL THERAPY R E S T O R E

October is fast approaching, and with it comes chilly weather, the changing of the leaves, and pumpkin spice lattes! But did you know that it’s also National Physical Therapy Month? As you’re sipping on your warm drink and carving out your jack-o- lanterns, be sure to learn more about the many benefits of physical therapy! Sport and Spine Therapy of Marin is committed to providing our patients high- quality rehabilitation. Our expert team of physical therapists is devoted to helping our patients make a full recovery from their injuries. We understand that injuries and pain can make every day activities way harder than they should be, as well as add unnecessary stress. Here at our clinic, we strive to empower you to achieve your full potential

and maximum functional level in work, sport and life activities. What Is National Physical Therapy Month All About? Since 1992, October has been coined National Physical Therapy month. This month is the time to honor and show appreciation for the hard work physical therapist’s do, and the important role they play in rehabilitating patients from their pain. You might be wondering how you can spread the word about the importance of physical therapy. It’s easy! Most of us are on social media to some extent these days, and using hashtags such as #UsePhysicalTherapy and #ChoosePT has helped garner curiosity and interest in the physical therapy world.

This month also allows patients to share their stories about how PT has improved their quality of life. It also gives physical therapists a way to bring awareness to people about the different kinds of treatment available to patients. Many people don’t realize that aside from specialized exercises that build strength and flexibility, PT also offers pain management through massage, heat and cold applications, and specialized electronic-pulse devices. Physical therapy can help a range of problems both for pain management and to help ease other symptoms. Give us a call today San Anselmo (415-457- 4454) or Novato (415-898-1311) to see how our services at Sport and Spine Therapy of Marin can help you become pain-free.

Combine oil, garlic and crushed red pepper in a small skillet over low heat. Cook, stirring often, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat; let cool for 5 minutes. Stir in panko, Parmesan, thyme, lemon zest and salt. Preheat grill to at least 500°F. Oil the grill grates, using tongs to hold an oil-soaked paper towel. Place zucchini, cut-sides down, on the oiled grates; grill, uncovered, until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes per side. Flip the zucchini so they are cut-side up; spoon the panko mixture evenly on top. Grill, covered, until the topping is golden brown in spots, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter. Serve with lemon wedges. 9 2 6 5 8 4 7 1 1 7 9 3 9
