🎉 Student Spotlight: CSM 2026 Scholarship Winners!🎉

At COMPTSIG, we believe in investing in the future of physical therapy. Our student members are proof of what’s possible.

Thanks to COMPTSIG student scholarships, two incredible students had the opportunity to attend CSM 2026 in Anaheim. They connected with leaders in the field, expanded their clinical knowledge, and experienced the power of the orthopedic PT community firsthand.

💡 Opportunities like this are just one of the many benefits of COMPTSIG student membership. We are passionate about supporting students as they learn, grow, and become the next generation of clinicians and leaders.

Great to see members of COMPTSIG connecting at APTA CSM in Anaheim. 🙌 Congratulations to our two CSM scholarship winners Ricky and Susan!

At CSM, members attended sessions to grow as clinicians, network, share ideas, and build community during one of the profession’s largest national gatherings.

We absolutely love seeing California’s manual therapists learning, engaging, and supporting each other! 💪
