Happy Physical Therapy Month! I can’t believe I’ve been a PTA for 5 years! I wanted to share with you 5 lessons/things I learned as a physical therapist assistant. Join me for my ABCs for PT Month Challenge on Instagram @notjustapta as I tag PTs, PTAs and PT businesses each day correlating to the letter of the day.

A day at the ER after accidentally pricking myself with a used needle from a patient.

Hi, I’m Margie, I’m a home health physical therapist assistant. I’ve been a PTA for six years and I am the creator of @notjustapta on Instagram (founded in 2019). I wanted to create a platform to connect, network, advocate and mentor physical therapist assistants and student physical therapist assistants. I am transitioning #TherapyTalkThursday from weekly Instagram Lives (over 90 episodes) to podcasts. I hope to continue to bring on guests to share their journey in the physical therapy world.
