October is PT month. Research consistently shows that physical therapy as a first intervention to pain, such as back pain, can improve function sooner, reduce the amount of days off of work, and is more effective long-term than opioids. Direct access laws in most states allow communities to have access to physical therapists as their first stop to improving their symptoms.

On this episode of In Your Corner with CORA Physical Therapy, we are talking to Sally Dickson, Sr. VP of Operations and Home Therapy with CORA about how her Mom inspired Sally to become a PT.

Sally's Mom was a RN and worked in various settings including Villa Maria Nursing Home in North Miami where Sally grew up. Sally Mom used to take Sally and her twin sister with her when she worked on the weekends and volunteer their time by wheeling patients to and from the various activities.

One summer Sally's Mom asked twin, "Why don't you volunteer in the OT department"? and asked me, "Why don't you volunteer in the PT department"? Ever since that summer experience Sally knew she wanted to become a PT and all thanks to Sally's Mom! Enjoy the conversation.

On this In Your Corner episode we talk to Brett Kolnick, PT and Regional VP, Operations in Kentucky and Tennessee about his "Why" for becoming a PT.

The reason that I became a physical therapist is because of my brother Ryan. I was 7 years old when my brother was born. He was born perfectly healthy but after several months of being alive he started have terrible seizures due to spinal meningitis.

The spinal meningitis caused decreased oxygen to the his brain which resulted in my brother having cerebral palsy.

As a child and older brother, I would do so many activities with him involving walking, stretching, coordination and balancing activities while we where just simply playing and spending time together. The entire time I was playing with and taking care of my brother, I had no idea that I was actually doing physical therapy with him. Not until Ryan got involved with the Special Olympics as a teenager, I was privileged to be around so many other amazing special children and adults.

At this moment, I realized that I wanted to become a physical therapist. I learned the impact that I had on my brother and more importantly the impact that he had on me. Ryan has now passed away but through his spirit is the reason why I am a physical therapist and how I am blessed to have an opportunity to impact other peoples lives through my career as a physical therapist.

October is PT Month.  CORA is celebrating by asking how our Leaders got involved in Physical Therapy and how they have created a path of their own.  Join Suzy Anschutz, Region VP and Director of CORA Leadership Development as she tells her story.
