FROM THE PRESIDENT

From The President - September 2023

By Mike Horsfield, PT, MBA

I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. As an advocate for the human experience in the realm of physical therapy, I felt compelled to reach out and share my thoughts on the cautious utilization of technology in our industry. Just as the color orange signifies both warmth and warning, I believe it is crucial to tread carefully when incorporating technology to ensure that we do not sacrifice the invaluable human touch that lies at the heart of our profession.

Editor's Note: September 2023

By Kristen Wilson, PT, DPT

Resources

Warmth and Energy
Orange is a color of warmth, energy, and enthusiasm. It is a color most often associated with a sunrise, when the night sky brightens as the sun peeks over the horizon, and a sunset, when the sun sinks under the horizon and allows us to reflect on the day. In business, orange is about the warmth and enthusiasm that extends to everyone in your private practice, including yourself. As such, the resources for September’s Impact tap into the orange glow of energy.
