NORRISTOWN, Pa - TherapyTimes.com, the multiple award-winning all-inclusive community Web site for therapy professionals in the healthcare industry, established a new Therapy Times blog section as a forum for issues, findings and experiences related to practicing therapists.
"The new Therapy Times blog section underscores the publication's primary passion: providing a network where therapists can learn to improve patient care, enhance their profession and further their careers," says Heather Brennan Koitzsch, RD, publisher of Therapy Times and president of the Valley Forge Publishing Group. "While the backgrounds and expertise of the blogs' contributors are varied, they are all committed to fostering advancements in therapy practice, research and education."
Therapy Times' new blog section is designed to deliver the latest, cutting edge news and commentary on traditional and complementary techniques used in relation to speech, occupational, physical and respiratory therapy. And since a blog is meant to be a truly interactive medium, readers are able to post comments and personal insight regarding a particular article or observation of interest to them.
"I'm glad when I hear back from readers because it means I've tapped into something of importance to them," says Rick Steinberg, OT, a Therapy Times blog contributor. "Keeping my blog readers informed, inspired and motivated is my objective."
While the list continues to grow, Therapy Times blog contributors currently include:
