It's National Physical Therapist Month!

River n

Riverside Health System recently issued the following announcement.

Meet Taylor Coleman, LPTA. She is one of our skilled physical therapy assistants at Patriots Colony in Williamsburg. Her journey to become a physical therapist was unexpected but evolved into something remarkable.

"As a teenager, I had an orthopedic operation and as I began healing, I found that I could no longer move my foot. I went to physical therapy and within the first session, I was able to wiggle my big toe," says Coleman. "My PTA and I cried together and I knew from that moment that I wanted to be in the PT field. This is why I choose PT, for all the toe wiggles, to first steps, or standing up for the first time again."
