The Value of Virtual Physical Therapy

October 1, 2025

Telehealth is here to stay. During September’s Telehealth Awareness Week, the ATI team took time to recognize its Telerehab clinicians and how their work benefits patients. Virtual therapy has been proven to be highly effective. Research shows online PT can produce outcomes similar to traditional in-person therapy for a range of musculoskeletal and neurologic problems when care is well-designed and supervised by a clinician.

Meet iMSKA’s New Director of Research Natalie Myers

October 1, 2025

Recently, the ATI Communications team sat down with the new Director of Research Natalie Myers. From serving a dual position as assistant athletic trainer and lecturer at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke to collaborating with the Women’s Tennis Association and United States Tennis Association while at the University of Kentucky, these experiences are mere highlights in Natalie’s research career and a small part of the breadth of knowledge she brings to ATI and iMSKA.

“These early experiences sparked a lasting passion for research and clinical education, which has shaped my academic and professional path ever since,” Natalie said. “Since completing my PhD, I’ve continued to expand my research portfolio within academic and hospital systems. My work has emphasized functional and patient-reported outcomes in shoulder and elbow sports medicine, with a strong focus on longitudinal data collection in real-world clinical environments.”

ATI Physical Therapy Worksite Solutions and iMSKA Partner with…

October 1, 2025

At ATI Worksite Solutions (AWS), a division of ATI Physical Therapy, we have known the long-term impact our Athletic Trainers in the workplace have on employee health. Now, a new collaboration between Indiana State University’s Athletic Training Department and ATI Worksite Solutions, along with its partner Institute for Musculoskeletal Advancement (iMSKA), is creating that same awareness to better prepare future healthcare professionals to meet the demands of occupational and industrial health. This new partnership looks to bridge a gap by launching its Workplace Injury Prevention Certificate Program, designed to equip future health professionals with proactive musculoskeletal (MSK) care strategies.

The initiative builds on the expertise of ATI Worksite Solutions—a national leader in injury prevention, ergonomics, early MSK intervention, and occupational health—and iMSKA, ATI’s research institute established in 2024 to advance evidence-based practices in MSK care. Together, these organizations are aligning academic training with real-world employer needs, preparing students to reduce workplace risks and improve population MSK health.

Connection within any profession matters, which is why ATI Sports Medicine dedicates itself to providing the support and resources Athletic Trainers need to offer their school and community members their very best.

Advocacy for Alabama Athletic Trainers Pays Off

July 8, 2025

Education is the foundation of any career, but rising costs within our society present a challenge for many healthcare professionals, including Athletic Trainers (AT). Within many school and worksite settings, Athletic Trainers are the first point of contact in many health-related situations and often the bridge to athletes, workers, and community members seeking further care. Their role within the communities they serve is essential, and as a result of advocacy efforts, legislators in the state of Alabama are recently passed HB288 to Governor Kay Ivey’s desk for signing to provide loan assistance for Alabama Athletic Trainers.

Using Telehealth to Increase Awareness for Dance Therapy

July 1, 2025

Telerehab Physical Therapist Catherine Vargo is taking her mission to help dancers out of the studio and moving it online. Still in her first year at ATI as a telerehab PT, Catherine brought her talents as a dance physical therapist to ATI to expand access for those who express their art through movement.

A former dancer, Catherine decided to pursue physical therapy after being treated for an injury. “The PTs I worked with were good, but they didn’t ‘get it,'” Catherine explained. “I knew there had to be people that ‘got it’ like there are therapists who understand football, basketball, or soccer. That’s why before Day One, I have always told others I wanted to be a PT that takes care of dancers.”
