The APTA and APTA Private Practice have taken a bold stand against systemic underpayment in health care. By joining a federal antitrust lawsuit, they are challenging a coordinated price-fixing scheme by major insurers and MultiPlan (now Claritev) that has harmed physical therapists and limited patient access to care.

This legal action is about more than reimbursement - it's about fairness, accountability, and protecting the future of our profession.

As APTA President Dr. Kyle Covington said, “Anticompetitive and unlawful reimbursement practices are harming our profession, limiting patient choice, and driving up health care costs.”

Let’s stand together for transparency, justice, and the value of physical therapy.

Did you know physical therapy doesn’t just heal the body—it supports the mind too? Movement releases endorphins, reduces stress, and helps manage depression and anxiety. Physical therapy reminds us that even small steps can create big changes—for body and mind. This Su***de Awareness Month, let’s remember: healing happens inside and out.

Strong Women. Stronger Movements. 💪

Today, we honor the trailblazing women who fought for equality — and the ones still pushing boundaries in every field, including physical therapy.

From redefining recovery to leading research and inspiring future clinicians, women in PT are more than healers — they are changemakers.

To the women using their platforms to educate, advocate, and elevate: we see you, we celebrate you.

Every patient’s story is unique—and so is their healing journey. 💪🌍

In our clinical practice, we must champion intersectionality by honoring every identity, breaking down barriers, and creating truly inclusive care.

Because equity isn't optional—it's essential. 💙

Intersectionality recognizes that individuals’ identities and experiences are shaped by multiple factors such as race, gender, sexuality, and class; which intersect to create unique perspectives and challenges.

Understanding intersectionality is crucial to creating truly inclusive spaces where all voices are heard and valued.

Let’s listen, learn, and create spaces where all bodies are respected. 🧠🦽💬

In recognition of Pride Month, we wanted to highlight this amazing article, "LGBTQIA+ Cultural Competence in Physical Therapy: An Exploratory Qualitative Study From the Clinician’s Perspective," which was published in 2024. This article focuses on the understanding of LGBTQIA+ health care experience and cultural competence from the PT perspective. It provides an excellent overview of primary themes using the social ecological model and applications of their findings. 🤝🏳️‍🌈
