🐾 April 11th was National Pet Day and the Elliott PT Family celebrated their pets! 🐾
We may be experts in movement and recovery — but our real secret weapon? Our pets. 🐶🐱🐰
But pets aren’t just adorable — they’re actually good for you! 🙌 Research shows that owning a pet can:
❤️ Lower blood pressure and reduce stress
😊 Boost mood and ease symptoms of anxiety and depression
🦴 Encourage more physical activity (hello, daily walks!)
🤝 Reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation
Sounds like pets and physical therapy have a lot in common — both help you feel and move better! 😄
We’d love to see YOUR pets too! Drop a photo in the comments and tell us their name. 👇🐾
