APTA Combined Sections Meeting: a Jetset Rehab Photo Journal.

 I have gone to four combined sections meetings and this years was the most intense and the best one I have been to yet.  I had the looming pressure of presenting a research project with Jay Bhatt, Andre Chavez, and Manny Yung on Tennis Elbow but getting the word out on Jetset Rehab Education was our main focus.  We feel strongly in our product and are really excited about our classes this year.  

A major difference I noticed in the PT landscape is the explosion of social media into the PT world,  Student PTs were as well known as seasoned presenters and it was a joy to see.  

Follow us on the links below!

During the conference I was snapping photos trying to capture our week in Anaheim for those who could not attend.

The PT conveyor belt.  Every CSM seems to have this situation.  The building looked amazing.  It allowed so much natural light inside that it didn't feel bad being inside all day.

One of the highlights was meeting Andre Chavez (left) and Scot Morrison.  These are some of the most thoughtful people I have met and just from one conversation I made a lot of changes in my research reading methods.  

We recorded a podcast with Scot which will be released next week.

Sitting and waiting for the presentation to begin, a nervous moment for me.  The water was great by the way.

Happy hour was busy.  PTs were definitely taking advantage of the day off from the clinic. Everywhere we looked people were networking and meeting old friends.  This, in my opinion, is where our profession gets inspired to get be…
