We’re looking to tell your stories this month!

This can be a highlight of your unique educational experience, interesting research at your university, new tech in your clinic, or a patient success story (to name a few ideas). If it’s meaningful to PT in the state of Arkansas, we want to know and get the word out.

Reach out via social media or send an email to [email protected] to get featured.

October is National Physical Therapy Month and APTA Arkansas is kicking it off by sponsoring a new podcast from members Nat Grubbs and Philip McKelvy. The sponsorship aims to add value to members and fellow PTs while the two co-hosts aim to have meaningful conversations that drive the profession forward.

Listen to episode one where Nat and Phil make their intro, discuss the origin of the name PT Nuance, and talk about a few times when their jobs felt more gray than black and white.

Check it out at ptnuance.buzzsprout.com or on any major podcast distributor including Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Former APTA AR President and current AR House of Representatives Candidate Bo Renshaw took to the podium last Saturday night at the PT PAC and Best of the Best Awards Show.

Bo spoke to the importance of having a seat of the table as physical therapists both locally and nationally. He also spoke about the amazing skill set of relationship building that all PTs possess to help with that seat at the table.

Feel you can help in this regard, but don’t know how to get involved? Reach out. There’s someone in the board who’d be thrilled to have that conversation with you.

Public relations chair Philip McKelvy aka the guy running this account was awarded as Clinical Instructor of the Year for 2026.

Does he feel strange making a post congratulating himself? Absolutely.

Is he going to turn down the chance for an easy piece of content? Absolutely not.

APTA Arkansas mourns the loss of Jennie Gregory.

If you've been around Arkansas PT for any length of time, you know the name Jennie Gregory. Her signature is on licenses across the state from her years on the AR State Physical Therapy Board, and she served APTA Arkansas in many roles, including president. She mentored countless students and new professionals, treated more patients than we can count, and saw her daughter, Laura Munns, follow her into the profession.

Jennie passed away on Sept. 19 after a short time in hospice care. As she recently put it, her mind was sharp but her body was tired.

Her family has asked that, in lieu of flowers, those who wish to remember her make a donation to the ARPTA PAC in her honor. Just last month, Jennie let us know she couldn't make this year's PAC banquet but would probably send a donation. That was so like her.

Memorial donations:

2228 Lookout Mtn Rd, Benton, AR 72019

A memorial service will be held Saturday, Oct. 3 at 1:00 p.m. at Park Hill Christian Church in North Little Rock.

We grieve with her husband, David, and children Laura Munns and James Gregory, along with their families.
