Therapy Private Practice Conference in Orlando. We are excited to learn about new products, different methods, ideas inmarketingandchanges in reimbursement.At the same time, Marissa and Emina are heading to St. Louis to attend a continuing education weekend to learn more about myofascial release and kinesiotaping techniques. Look out everyone! All sorts of great new ideas and skills coming to ZPT!! It is so good to be back to full staff! We are grateful to have Emina and Marissa both return to full time, taking care of patients with energy and enthusiasm! After their maternity leaves, I took a Grand-maternity leave to go out west to see the grandchildren with Kent. First stop was Phoenix to see Sarah and Tony, as well as Jessica, to celebrate Finn’s 3rd birthday. He and I had a fun time with his dog-chewed Spiderman toy – it kept zapping us with spider webs. My husband, Kent, took his guitar and we sang a nice version of Wonky Donkey for Finn, then gave him his own plush donkey to hug. Finn’s little sister, Janie, was born in January of this year, and is growing cuter every day, moving around more and always seems happy. Lovely! Next stop was Portland, Oregon, and across the river to Vancouver,Washington.Aaronandhiswife,Genevieve,are parents to littleHarlow,whowasborn inearlySeptember. She was little over a week old when we met her – so little and fragile. Harlow’s big sister, Avary, is very sweet with her, and was eager to show Grammie how to do crafts and play. We have been so blessed with our children and grandchildren thisyear! I feelas if Iampartofsomething much bigger than just my own life and concerns. We’ve been helping each other through the tough times, celebrating the milestones and accomplishments and sharingsweetphotoswithoneanother. I’vebeen reading a book by Henri Nouwen, The Return of the Prodigal Son, in which he points out, “it is amazing to experience daily the radical difference between cynicism and joy.”

More Patient Success "I'm so thankful for ZPT!" "I came to ZPT after an ankle sprain. I had never been to PT in my life and was very nervous. After less than 10 minutes, my nervousness was gone. Emina and Taylor made me feel like family. I looked forward to coming to every session. It wasn't about coming in to do work, it was overall therapy: laughing, complaining, and sharing thoughts on some hard topics. I'm so thankful for ZPT! I'll be back! " - Brittiny M.

"This is definitely a great setting for physical therapy!"

"I came in after arthroscopic surgery for a meniscus tear in my left knee. I wanted to play tennis again immediately but found out that (playing tennis) was not possible. After only 9 sessions of physical therapy at ZPT, I feel 99.9% ready to go to the tennis courts! This is definitely a great setting for physical therapy - everyone is happy and smiling, and focused on the patient and their continual improvement!" - Darryl J.
