Tonight, APTA member Mike Klonowski, PT, DPT, PCS, will attend the State of the Union address as an invited guest of Sen Mark Kirk (R-IL). Klonowski was the senator's primary physical therapist at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago following a stroke in January 2012 that paralyzed the left side of Kirk's body. Last month, Klonowski watched Kirk climb the steps to the Capitol on the first day of the 113th Congress.

Look for Klonowski's comments on tonight's event in an upcoming article in News Now.
