Happy National Physical Therapy month!
This post is a funny one to write... This is my mentor Dr Mary J. Rogel, PhD, LAc of East Point Associates
Dr Mary has been an acupuncturist for almost 40 years and I have been learning from her for almost 4 years now. She literally does the best orthopedic manual therapy I have ever seen in addition to unbelievable orthopedic needling; I have watched her achieve things on people's bodies in one session that shouldn't be possible.
I'm choosing to add her to our October celebrations because (1) we're now office roommates in our new space, (2) I vehemently believe in continuing education, and (3)... Controversial opinion warning!!!... I think in 50-100 years from now all of us "body" people are going to need to choose a common label for ourselves and stop the Turf Wars.
We've seen some really beautiful interdisciplinary results on shared patients so far and I'm excited to keep learning from you. After almost 4 years, I still can't believe I have the privilege of even looking inside your brain and I'm humbled by the volume of what continues to lie ahead of me.
For those of you that have been treated by Mary, you'll know her shoes can never be filled.
