Due to weather conditions, our clinics will be closed on Wednesday 11/09 and Thursday 11/10.

We appreciate your patience during another bout with Florida hurricane season. 💚

Happy National Gratitude month! What are you grateful for?
We challenge you to find one new reason to be grateful on each day of this month. 💚

Attention all current patients/family of patients/staff: we will be having SPIRIT WEEK next week and we would love it if you participate in the fun. 💚

⬆️physical activity + ⬆️social connectedness = ⬆️access to community resources + ⬇️ loneliness💚💪

We encourage you to find a local exercise or walking group. Not only will it help with physical health, but it can also help improve your mental health and boost overall well-being.

We now know that breast cancer awareness is not only beneficial but extremely important. Early detection has saved countless lives. This happens most often through screenings.

Here a few tips for early detection:

- Perform routine self-examinations
- Know your family history
- Attend your routine wellness exams
with your doctor
- Know when to have your
mammogram

Happy October and National Physical Therapy Month! 💚🧟‍♂️🖤👻

We sincerely hope you all stay safe and we look forward to seeing you soon.

Tomorrow is the first day of fall, y'all! 🍃🍂

You deserve rest.
Your health is a priority.
You are resilient.
Your life is valuable.
You ARE worthy!

Happy National Rehabilitation Awareness Week!

In America alone, there are nearly 50 million people with disabilities.

If you have a loved one or know someone who does physical therapy for a condition that is currently ailing them, please take a moment to acknowledge their hard work and show them your support. 💚💪

If you currently have pain or discomfort, we encourage you to call your Doctor or one of our 5 locations to find out if physical therapy is right for you. Link in bio.

Have you tried doing your exercise outdoors lately?!
By now, most have heard that there are a number of health benefits to being outside in nature.

To name a few benefits, an outdoor workout can:
1. Give you a boost of Vitamin D, which
can help reduce depression.
2. Boost your immune system
3. Reduce blood pressure and stress
4. Improve cardiovascular endurance
5. Help improve sleep

We encourage you to consider connecting with the natural world today! 🌿🌞

Thank you for allowing Direct Physical Therapy to partner with you on your journey to a stronger version of yourself. 💚💪

We are pleased to introduce the newest addition to our team, Blaire Elmore, PTA!

Blaire was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. Prior
to pursuing physical therapy, she received her Bachelor's Degree in Kinesiology
(Exercise Science) from Georgia Southern University and
her Master's in Public Health (Community Health Education) from Georgia Southern University. She continued to work at numerous fitness centers and outpatient PT clinics where she fell in love with physical therapy, forming relationships with patients, and helping people heal and return to themselves!

After moving to the central Florida area in 2019, Blaire decided to bring her multiple degrees together and pursue a
Physical Therapist Assistant degree at Herzing University,
where she graduated with her PTA degree in 2022.

Outside of work, Blaire enjoys spending time with her long-time
boyfriend, playing with her 2 German Shepherds, reading,
working out, going to the beach, and visiting family in Savannah, GA.

"I am so excited to be a part of such an amazing company with
a unique vision: one-on-one, patient-centered care. I cannot wait to bring my love of fitness, wellness, and passion for helping people to the patients at Direct Physical Therapy!" -Blaire

Please help us wish all of our clinicians a HAPPY World Physical Therapy Day! Don't forget to reach out to YOUR favorite PT clinician to wish them a great day. We are grateful for all of their hard work! 💚💪
