Use the toolkit during Women’s History Month to spotlight inspiring women in the profession and in your life! 

In 1921, a visionary group of women founded APTA and set our profession on a bold, new course. Their pioneering leadership not only established the association but also helped shape the profession's trajectory. This Women’s History Month, we celebrate their legacy and the countless women whose contributions continue to guide and inspire us today.

APTA's new "Founded by Women" social media toolkit contains graphics and messages, including a dedicated photo frame, to highlight and celebrate women in physical therapy and their enduring contributions.

APTA members can use this toolkit throughout the month of March to recognize the women who have provided inspiration, mentorship, or friendship in their physical therapy journey. Post these graphics on your social channels or share an image or story about an inspiring woman you know using #FoundedbyWomen.
