One of our favorite weekends of the year is coming back around... oPTimize, APTA Arkansas's conference for PTs and PTAs across the state. Last year's group brought incredible energy: excellent speakers, real conversations between colleagues, and reminders of why we do this work.

Mark your calendar: oPTimize 2026 is September 19 at the Robinson Center in Little Rock. Bring your team, catch up with old friends, and leave with something new to bring back to your patients.
