APTA President

Always great to connect with past APTA presidents — honored to be a part of this cohort, and I look forward to following in their illustrious footsteps.

The APTA board thanks our colleague @ashjamesphysio from @thecsp for spending the week with us at #APTACSM and helping us explore opportunities to advance practice using AI and primary care.

Check out my recent podcast episode with Prompt Health! In this episode, we dig into the biggest challenges facing PTs today — payment, administrative burden, burnout, and more. youtube.com/watch?si=Si7du…

The Winter Olympics are FINALLY here! 🏅❄️Had fun chatting with APTA President Justin Moore about the Games — and we're sending a big shoutout to the physical therapists supporting these incredible athletes. 💪✨ Share your favorite Olympics moments and stories in the comments!

Shout out to APTA Member Karen Litzy, PT, DPT! Karen and her patient were featured yesterday on @CBSNews discussing the importance of physical therapy as a preventive approach — spotlighting APTA's new #PTForFutureMe consumer awareness campaign. cbsnews.com/boston/video/h…

It’s an absolute honor to serve alongside such thoughtful, committed leaders who give so much of their time and talent to advance our profession. Thank you for your service, your partnership, and your steady leadership. I’m better for it, and so is APTA.

Worlds collided the other day when my sister, Tina Covington Gordon, the CEO for the North Carolina Nurses Association, was up the street for an association meeting and popped by to visit @APTA_official.

Thanks to the Northeastern University DPT program and the Class of 2026 for the invitation to serve as the Chair for Husky House, a mock experience in professional debate and governance. It was an amazing and inspiring day sharing ideas that are moving our profession forward.

Had a great time connecting with our colleagues at the APTA Private Practice Annual Conference. Grateful to Mike Horsfield, President of @pps_apta, for the invitation and the opportunity to join such an energized community.

I’ve felt the sting of insurance denial myself, even while I’m in physical therapy right now for a recent injury. Administrative burden is breaking the system, and patients and PTs are paying the price. @APTA_official is fully committed to pushing for meaningful change.

I was excited to visit the Zamierowski Institute for Experiential Learning yesterday alongside APTA CEO, Justin Moore. Thank you to KU Medical Center (@KUMedCenter) and KU Physical Therapy, Rehabilitation Science, & Athletic Training for having us!

I had the pleasure of attending the APTA Hawaii Road Show this past weekend and speaking with students at Hawaii Pacific University! A huge mahalo to our colleagues at @APTAHawaii and @HPU for an amazing experience. 🤙

🎙 Join me for this webinar from @APTAOrthopedics, where I had the chance to sit down with James Spencer to talk about the future of physical therapy. I hope you’ll take a moment to watch and reflect on how we can keep advancing together. orthopt.org/webinars/stanl…
