BEYOND THE STRETCH
WORK HARD | PLAY HARD
This month, TPG showed up in a big way at the Combined Sections Meeting (CSM) in Anaheim, CA and there’s something special about gathering with thousands of PT professionals right here, where we have deep roots. California energy. PT passion. And a whole lot of Orange County sunshine.
We worked hard.
Our team was out in full force at booth #346 meeting new clinicians, reconnecting with familiar faces, sharing the TPG story, and talking about what makes our culture different. We kept energy high in the exhibit hall, gave away great prizes, and most importantly, celebrated the profession we’re so proud to be part of
And we played hard.
There was an undeniable buzz. CSM is always inspiring but this year felt personal. Being on our home turf reminded us why we do what we do and who we’re doing it for. To everyone who stopped by our booth, joined our VIP event, or simply came over to say hello thank you. You made this CSM unforgettable. Your energy, curiosity, and passion for patient care are what fuel this industry forward
This issue of Beyond the Stretch is all about Work Hard Play Hard It’s about showing up fully for our patients, our profession, and each other It’s about excellence during the day and celebration at night It’s about building something meaningful and enjoying the journey along the way
CSM was a perfect reminder: when you love what you do and who you do it with, hard work and fun aren’t opposites they’re partners Like the 9+ months of long hours and planning that went into getting TPG ready for this event... THANK YOU, Bre Koehler!
With gratitude and California pride,
Jenn Mullins & Bre Koehler

COMBINING MATTERS
WHERE EVIDENCE MEETS ENERGY
After many years in the profession, I can say this with confidence: there are few experiences as energizing and grounding as attending the Combined Sections Meeting (CSM)
On the surface, CSM is a conference packed with lectures, events, booths, posters, and presentations. But what you truly gain goes far beyond CEUs.
First, there’s the clinical knowledge CSM compresses the latest evidence, emerging techniques, and evolving best practices into a few focused days You hear directly from researchers who are shaping the literature and clinicians who are testing those ideas in real time. It challenges your assumptions. It sharpens your reasoning. It often validates what you’re already doing well and just as often pushes you to raise the bar.
But just as important as the knowledge are the connections.
CSM brings together thousands of professionals who care deeply about moving people better You reconnect with classmates, mentors, and colleagues from across the country. You meet new grads who bring fresh curiosity and seasoned clinicians who bring perspective. Conversations in hallways, over coffee, or at poster sessions often spark as much growth as the formal programming
Every year, CSM serves as a reset and a recharge It aligns us around evidence. It reinforces professional standards. It elevates the conversation about where physical therapy is headed and how we can lead that future.
