ONE PICTURE IS WORTH TEN THOUSAND WORDS Written by: WEESIE WALKER, ATP/SMS, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF NRRTS
The second edition of “COMPLEX” by Mark Sullivan will soon be on the NRRTS Website. Through his camera lens, Mark captures the very essence of Complex Rehab Technology (CRT). Not only is it an interesting read, it is also a valuable tool to educate people about why CRT is critical. Most RTSs know it is virtually impossible to describe their profession. There are many different challenges in our field. It can be access to the right technology. It can be access to the right clinical team. It can be funding limitations. There are so many barriers but the need for CRT will never go away.

Advocacy and awareness are everyone’s responsibility. This book gives you the means to quickly educate anyone about all reasons that we continue to fight! This is my favorite picture in the book. It is not what we see, but what she sees. Perhaps, this picture is worth 100,000 thousand words.
