Happy #PTMonth, everybody! As we celebrate the profession this month, I wanted to share a few highlights from across APTA.
Thank you for lending your voice, your expertise, and your time to helping shape the future of physical therapy. #PTAdvocacy #PTMonth
APTA mourns the passing Rob Tillman, PT of Little Rock, Arkansas, and President of the American Academy of Physical Therapy. Rob was a force for good, excellent clinician, and leader of the physical therapy profession. He was a light to all who sought to make a difference.
It was an honor to join APTA North Carolina's Annual Conference last week and connect with physical therapy professionals who are moving our profession forward every day.
As we work to advance the APTA Strategic Framework for 2030, conversations like these are essential.
I recently joined Dana Strauss, PT, DPT, and Alex Bendersky, PT, DPT, on the Future Proof PT podcast to discuss some of the issues shaping the future of our profession, including direct access, payment reform, AI, and more: open.spotify.com/episode/7ue…
We also talked about why collaboration, innovation, and advocacy will be essential as we work together to advance physical therapy. Give the episode a listen now: youtube.com/watch?v=EG79vj9d…
Every day, PTs and PTAs help people keep moving toward the lives they want to live, whether that means returning to a favorite activity, staying independent, or simply doing more of what matters most.
This month, let’s celebrate that impact! Learn more: choosept.com/future-me

What does it take to support a Stanley Cup-winning team? 🏆 I recently sat down with Nicholas Mahaffey, PT, DPT, SCS — rehabilitation and sports science coordinator and physical therapist for the Carolina Hurricanes.
Nick talks about his role in the team's 2026 championship season, working in a collaborative sports medicine environment, and what people might be surprised to learn about being a physical therapist in professional hockey. 🔗 Watch the full interview: youtu.be/TJ3TGBMozBE
