HD PHYSICAL THERAPY Celebrated Their 2nd Movember

WAKEFIELD, Mass. - Dec. 10, 2013 - PRLog -- November was Movember, the time of year when the mustache took over the world for one month. Through the power of the mustache, Movember participants and partners raised funds and awareness for men’s health.

HDPT’s co-founding partners, Ed Harding, PTA and Glenn D’Addario, MSPT, DPT, along with staff members Svet Wilson, PTA, ATC and Robbie Barletta, PTA formed an official team. The men began the month clean-shaven, and documented their growth journey on Facebook, Instagram and on their HDPT blog.

This year, HD Physical Therapy was able to collect $450 from friends, family and patients, a 200% increase from last year!

Why was Movember so important? One of the biggest obstacles men tackle in regards to general well-being is a reluctance to discuss health issues they face either with their partner, family or doctor. Movember was born from recognition that a fun and engaging initiative could help encourage men to become more actively involved in their own health. Movember aims to increase awareness and support for men's health by getting conversations started at a grassroots level, educating men about the health risks they face and raising vital funds for support programs.

“We were happy to continue the tradition at HDPT. Growing mustaches really helped get people involved, talking about men’s health and donating to the cause,” said HDPT’s co-founder & CEO Ed Harding, PTA. “We look forward to continuing to make a bigger and bigger impact each year, during Movember!”
