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.
