Our contest is up and running and we already have a number of participants showing us how physical therapy has gotten them back to doing what they love most. As we designed this contest we wanted to focus on how our patients viewed the benefits of physical therapy. Is it something as simple as being more mobile so they are able to navigate their home with confidence, getting to spend more time with friends and family doing the things they’re used to doing, or competing at a higher level than before.
As we asked everyone to send us their pictures using #MakovickaPT we began to realize that this contest could have bigger implications to the world of physical therapy than just our clinic! This is why we are introducing #GotPT to the contest. We want this concept of “what physical therapy can allow us to do” to outlast the contest.
To win prizes through our contest still include #MakovickaPT in any of your Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram posts, but help us spread the word and throw in #GotPT so we can keep this concept going after the winners have been announced!
Good luck to everyone and we’re excited to see what physical therapy has allowed everyone to do, from walking and golfing to Division I scholarships and more.
A special shout out to WebPT (@WebPT) and Dr. Ben Fung (@DrBenFung) for continually challenging the physical therapy community and helping to push this campaign!
