Moving forward, healthfully

By Bill Bedford, PT, DPT, CIDN; Ferrell-Whited Physical Therapy Services and Bedford Fitness

To be our best in 2021, we should: Create opportunities to lead, but lead by example and by sharing knowledge, not by demeaning others. Be gracious, be humble, be kind, and love our family, friends and neighbors.

At Ferrell-Whited Physical Therapy/Bedford Physical Therapy & Fitness, we believe in living life that way and treating others the same way. We look forward to helping you be your better self in 2021, as our physical therapist can help you recover from injuries and surgeries, our medical exercise specialist can help you reach your fitness goals, and our massage therapist can help you relax.

As we reflect on 2020, we see trepidations in our life with fear and stress for our health, our family and friends, and our jobs as we searched to find ways to move forward through an unprecedented worldwide pandemic. Now as we look forward to 2021, there are still unknowns about the virus and about our jobs, but we have hope.

Think about how you can move forward, how you handle the challenges, how to lean on your friends and family for help—but also be gracious and humble and share what you have to offer. Hopefully your stress and fears will lessen in the new year, allowing you to find more enjoyment in life.

Thank you to all of our comrades in the healthcare field, essential workers and small businesses who are helping us stay healthy and maintain some normalcy in our lives.
