In June 2024, the PT Proud SIG challenged PTs, PTAs and students to submit short videos about what Pride Month meant to them. The theme, “Healing Through Reflection: Empower and Unite, PTs and PTAs,” emphasized the therapeutic and reflective nature of physical therapy, focusing on how the profession empowers individuals and fosters unity by improving physical health and well-being.
