How would a physical therapy practice look like in one of those regions? We asked ourselves. A physical therapy practice that is a wholesome space. Where the research base science of physical therapy is tied to nature and community and their healing powers. To elevate the patients experience and improve the physical therapy outcomes, we created the blue zone.
