What if leadership in physical therapy wasn’t about titles — but about how you show up? In this episode, three powerhouse PTs share how they stepped up in their careers — not by chasing roles, but by owning their value, raising their hand, and realizing that leadership is a behavior, not a job description. Whether you’re a new grad, a PTA, or a 10-year vet, this one hits home.
Featuring: Todd Norwood, PT, DPT, Lindsey Umlauf, PT, DPT and Kelly Louise Wooldridge, PT, MPT
