Ever wonder what a day in the life of a DPT student looks like? 👀🎒🩺

We’re handing over the camera to one of our own for a behind-the-scenes look at life as a 2nd year WKU DPT student! From morning routines to the classroom, lab, and everything in between, come along for a glimpse into a typical day in the life of a future physical therapist! ❤️🤍

🍕🏓 Pizza, pickleball, and a little business sprinkled in!

APTA KY’s Western District came together for an evening of friendly competition, fellowship, and shared learning! It was a great opportunity for PT students and professionals to connect, collaborate, and have a little fun along the way!

A special thank you to Tom Pennington and The Tennis Performance Institute for hosting, and to Scott Grimsley with TruMedical for sponsoring the event and providing the pizza! 👏

✨ THIS or THAT?! ✨

This week’s Wellness was all about making a choice and joining the fun!

From…
chocolate 🍫 or fruity 🍬
push-ups 💪 or jumping jacks
noise 🗣️ or quiet 🧘
rock-paper-scissors ✊✋✌️ or thumb war 👍
To…give or receive (compliments) ✉️
— there was something for everyone!

A little movement, a little friendly competition, a few treats, and plenty of laughs made for the perfect wellness break!

🍓🍌🍇 Wellness Tuesday: Fun with Fruit! 🍎🥝🍊

Who says you can’t play with your food? 😄

This week’s wellness activity brought out some creativity as students transformed fruit into animals, cars, and edible works of art! 🎨🍓

A little creativity, a healthy snack, and a fun break from the week = time well spent! ❤️
