As Physical Therapy Month comes to a close, we’re filled with gratitude for the love, energy, and passion our students, faculty, alumni, and community have shared all month long 💙

From community events and wellness initiatives to classroom celebrations and patient stories - thank you for reminding us WHY we do what we do.

Don’t forget to stay tuned! We’ve got more inspiration, learning, and service ahead because PT month never really ends when you love what you do!

👶Pediatrics Lab Day!👶

Last week, our Grad 3’s got to put their pediatric skills into practice! They learned some taping and wrapping exercises in their Peds Demo Lab and put the Peabody Developmental Motor Scale to the test on several kids!

We want to say thank you to the families who trusted our Grad 3’s to practice their skills on their little ones and gain some hands-on experience!

🎃October SPTA Meeting🎃

Teamwork, laughter, and a little friendly competition! Our October SPTA meeting was filled some great conversations about fundraising and volunteering opportunities, and we wrapped it up with some Minute to Win It games! Always a great time coming together with our 1st and 2nd year students!

Huge thanks to our presidents, vice presidents, other SPTA board members, and faculty for coordinating this event! We can’t wait to see everyone again in November!💙

🌲From Classroom to Trail🌲

Third year DPT students partnered with Grace Unlimited in Terre Haute for an adaptive hiking project. Four student teams planned and led a hike using the Joelette adventure chair, supporting community members with disabilities. A beautiful day of inclusion, teamwork, and connection outdoors!

🎃Healthy Halloween👻

Last week, our DPT students participated in Healthy Halloween at the Children’s Museum! We helped kids get moving through a fun obstacle course and shared the importance of staying active - even during spooky season!

We want to share of thanks to the staff who ran this event, our DPT faculty who helped out, and all of our DPT students who volunteered to help out and share their passion for being active with the next generation!🎃
