Some of you may have noticed I’m not in the clinic this week… I’m in New Orleans! Don’t worry though I’m hard at work attending a physical therapy conference — the American Physical Therapy Association’s (APTA) Combined Sections Meeting. This conference is held every year and 7,500 PTs from around the US will be attending. The 18 specialty sections of the APTA coordinate the programming and sessions, which are presented by the best PTs in the US as well as internationally. I’m looking forward to meeting other PTs and physical therapy innovators and hearing them present on the most up-to-date research and treatment techniques related to physical therapy. I’ll be attending a course tomorrow on aquatic therapy, using water based treatment techniques for rehabilitation. I’ll also be attending courses related to wellness, pain, the spine, and posture. When I learn something helpful for you, and get a little down time, I’ll be posting to the blog.

My name is Monique Serpas, PT, DPT, OCS. I am a physical therapist and board-certified Orthopaedic Clinical Specialist practicing at the Southeast Louisiana Healthcare System in New Orleans, LA. I realize how difficult it can be to overcome an injury or manage a chronic condition and am focused on helping my clients achieve wellness through a physically active lifestyle. I treat orthopaedic, balance, and vestibular disorders and practice using a combination of hands-on manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and education. This enables my patients to assist in their own recovery and injury prevention. I also have developed fall prevention and golf-related rehab programs in the past. I hold a Doctor of Physical Therapy from Concordia University Wisconsin (2008) and a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from Louisiana State University (2004). I am a member of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), Louisiana Physical Therapy Association (LPTA), and the Orthopaedic and Neurology sections of the APTA.
