Mayor Hickenlooper Kicks Off
PT Month In Colorado!
Denver
Mayor
John Hickenlooper kicked off Physical Therapy
Month 2006 with an official proclamation that recognizes
the importance of physical therapists in Colorado.
 Hickenlooper’s
recognition of Physical Therapy Month, which is
celebrated across the nation each October, is the first
of many more that are expected to be signed by mayors
and city councils across the state.
So far this year, at least 18 proclamations
were signed by officials from various cities and one
by Colorado Governor Bill Owens.
(See Governor's Proclamation -

The Colorado Chapter of the American Physical Therapy
Association represents more than 1,000 Physical
Therapists, Physical Therapist Assistants, and Physical
Therapy students and promotes the importance of Physical
Therapy education and research.
Here's the text of
Mayor Hickenlooper's proclamation:
WHEREAS,
the practice of physical therapy involves a variety of
aspects from injury prevention to general health and
fitness to rehabilitation following an injury, disease
or surgery; and
WHEREAS,
physical therapy helps improve the quality of life and
physical well being of people of all ages,
including cardiac patients, children, athletes and the
elderly; and
WHEREAS,
the Colorado Chapter of the American Physical Therapy
Association represents more than 1,000 physical
therapists, physical therapist assistants and physical
therapy students in Colorado and promotes the importance
of physical therapy education and research; and
WHEREAS,
through physical therapy practice, education and
research, physical therapists are able to prevent
disease, promote health, reduce pain and enhance the
quality of life; and
WHEREAS,
it is appropriate that we recognize these individuals
who dedicate their time and talent toward enhancing the
physical health of the citizens of our state and thank
them for making Colorado an even better and healthier
place to live, work and raise a family.
NOW,
