Take us back to Anaheim...
CSM 2026 was everything we love about this profession in one place: energy, curiosity, connection, and a whole lot of heart. There’s nothing better than getting to meet so many thoughtful, driven students and dedicated professors who are shaping what physical therapy will look like next. Every conversation at our booth reminded us why we do this work.
One of the highlights for our team was seeing John Milad, PT, DPT, present his research on "Segmental Motion and Clinical Outcomes Following Spinal Manipulation." He conducted this research during his time as a student at Ithaca and is excited to announce that two manuscripts have been submitted for publication. Watching one of our own step into that moment and contribute to the broader PT community was incredibly special. It’s a reflection of what happens when clinicians are supported in practice and in growth.
And yes, we fully leaned into our 1980s theme. From the music to the neon to the nonstop buzz at the booth, the energy never dipped. If you stopped by, you probably left with one of our (now iconic) tote bags. We’ve never seen people so excited about canvas!
Mostly, though, we left feeling grateful. For the students who asked big questions. For the faculty who push the profession forward. For the alumni who came back to say hello. And for the reminder that the future of PT is bright, bold, and in very good hands.
Until next year!
