It?s Movember, the time of year when the mustache takes over the world for one month. Movember is the global men?s health charity that encourages men to grow a mustache for 30 days to raise awareness and funds for men?s health.
HDPT?s co-founding partners, Ed Harding, PTA and Glenn D?Addario, MSPT,
DPT are joining the cause this month. Ed and Glenn began their month-long
journey clean-shaven and we will be documenting their growth journey on
our Facebook page. Follow them at: www.facebook.com/HDPhysicalTherapy
