PMC ALL STAR Spotlight: Ethan!
Ethan is definitely a PT ALL STAR! Every time he comes to PT, he "has to do all the hard stuff" (in his words) but he always does it with a smile on his face and all that work is paying off! Ethan challenged his therapists to a PT competition and he is now stronger than Ms. Nature, Ms. Tina, and Mr. Justin and he has the gold metal to prove it!
We are so proud of Ethan but a little nervous because he is already planning round two of the PT competition.
We better start training!
