With football season approaching, now is the time to prioritize helmet safety. Don't let an ill-fitting helmet jeopardize player safety. The National Athletic Trainers' Association provides this essential guide because proper protection begins with a proper fit. Wearing a properly fitted helmet is crucial to reducing the risk of concussion. Share this with your football community to help keep players safe.

Our CEO, Marty Blair, wrote a letter to the editor of The Tennessean advocating for seniors! We recently hosted Senator Blackburn's team at our Green Hills clinic, and we urge her and Congress to support the SAFE Act to provide no-cost fall prevention assessments for Medicare patients.

As physical therapists, we see the devastating impact of falls daily—and we know they're preventable. This bipartisan bill would improve patient outcomes, reduce healthcare costs, and decrease reliance on pain medications. Let's protect our seniors' independence and safety!

Urge your legislators to support the SAFE Act at https://nuvi.me/zsp3rq
