Today we'd like to highlight a national nonprofit organization that celebrates America’s veterans by inviting them to share in a day of honor at our nation’s memorials. Honor Flight Network's vision is of a nation where all of America’s veterans experience the honor, gratitude, and community of support they deserve.

Participation in an Honor Flight trip to Washington, D.C., gives veterans the opportunity to visit some of our nation's important memorials, remember the fallen, and share stories and experiences with other veterans. Honored veterans always travel free of charge, thanks to generous donations to the organization.

Over 128 hubs across the country form the Honor Flight Network, along with countless volunteers who help make the mission a success by coordinating flights, bus trips, welcome home ceremonies, thousands of phone calls and so much more – all with the common goal to honor our nation’s heroes with the trip of a lifetime.

Transporting approximately 22,500 veterans annually, Honor Flight Network has flown over 300,000 veterans to Washington, D.C. since its inception.

On National Dog Day, we thought we'd share this special pup - Murphy - with you. Murphy is training to be our official *therapy dog* at IPA Physio Portland and will be spending his days at our clinic!

Perimenopause & Menopause - Menopause is something we hear a lot about, but do we actually know and understand the changes that are happening in the female body during this time period? Pelvic health physical therapy and the Functional Manual Therapy approach can help improve blood flow to the pelvis through manual therapy to adjacent organs, veins and arteries, joints, and soft tissue. Visceral (organ) mobilization improves mobility and functionality of the pelvic organs which in turn can help with some menopausal symptoms like hot flashes and night sweats. Functional Manual Therapy addresses postural dysfunction and improves initiation, strength, endurance, and motor control of core muscles including the pelvic floor. This will help with better management of pressure systems of the body.
