Our Sports Physical Bill Needs Your Support in Colorado!
HB26-1231 authorizes licensed physical therapists to perform pre-participation physical examinations and provide written clearance for students participating in school athletic activities - were asking you to notify your representatives!
If career physical therapists and practice owners aren’t APTA members and don’t see the value how are we going to move our profession forward?
I wonder how we can get more physical therapists to come over! The movement does feel slow

The pillars of movement transformation sound a lot like the pillars of clinical practice 👩🏻⚕️👩🏻🏫💃
One platform down and one more to go at 8am tomorrow #physicaltherapy
Thankful for the @foundation4pt.bsky.social support for PODSI - the University of Colorado was well represented last night at the rooftop #aptacsm #csm2026

This is Alex Pretti.
This morning he was murdered by ICE. Six ICE agents held him down and shot him at point blank range. Alex was a nurse and researcher at the VA.
Our thoughts are with his loved ones and we stand united in action calling for the abolishment of ICE.

When we are informed, we are prepared. When we are prepared, we save lives. NCAR keeps us informed.
Join us in writing to Congress to #SaveNCAR #FundNCAR!
It takes 30 seconds to write an email at tr.ee/save-ncar
Activism is expensive. For example, we recently leveled up on new software that makes yelling at your members of Congress very easy.
In our small test, ~3500 letter were sent, in less than a day, about saving NCAR!
It’s $50k a year.

"The types of bans in front of the Supreme Court do nothing to solve the actual problems facing women's sports. Instead, they hurt all women and girls by encouraging folks to police what we look like and how we show up in the world. Let's stop with the bullying and let all kids play." - Ashlyn Harris, 2x World Cup champion and HRC Board Member
"I'm of the opinion that if you're a woman, you should play. If you consider yourself a woman and you want to play sports, or vice versa, you should be able to play." - Dawn Staley, 3-time national championship head coach for the South Carolina Gamecocks women's basketball team.
"There is no place in any sport for discrimination of any kinds. I'm proud to support all transgender athletes who simply want the access and opportunity to compete in the sport they love." - Billie Jean King, 39x Grand Slam tennis champion and longtime LGBTQ+ and women's rights advocate.
"To the trans athletes fearing that they may be sidelined from the sport they love: I see you and hear and I am with you." - Megan Rapinoe, 2x World Cup champion and LGBTQ+ and women's rights advocate.
Sports are for EVERYONE — including trans youth.
The greatest athletes of all time agree.
❤️❤️❤️
Dorks, I know more than 7.2k of you think RFK Jr. needs to go!
I’m headed to DC tomorrow to meet with members of Congress about our articles of Impeachment.
The more people sign, the louder we can yell.

Colorado stands up for science.
NCAR isn't just your weather app. It's keeping us prepared up to the MINUTE when extreme weather hits. In an emergency, preparation and information keep us safe. Without NCAR, we are flying blind, just as extreme weather becomes more frequent. #SaveNCAR
This has always been a Bluesky-first campaign. But as of today, we will no longer be using Twitter. At all.
And I'm calling on other candidates to follow suit.
Wow just finished listening to the 13th step by @nhpr.org and blown away at the quality of reporting and storytelling! 🎧 somehow missed this when it came out!

Disappointing article today from @nytimes.com arguing that we need more regulations for e-bikes while pedestrian and cyclist fatalities continue to rise from autos make this article seem like a piece of propaganda from big auto while we do nothing to stop distracted driving

“pseudoscientific dumpster fire” 🤣 I like where you’re going here and unfortunately agree - our professions need more accountability to evidence based practice and the spectrum of manual therapy is too great
