SLU PT Faculty Joins the NEXT Annual Physical Therapy Conference & Exposition in Nashville




The APTA's NEXT Conference and Exposition, held this year in Nashville at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center, offered participants a look at some of the forward thinking research taking place in physical therapy. The event has trend-setting programming with more than sixty educational sessions from seasoned physical therapy professionals. You can access their videos and presentations here. Saint Louis University's own Mary Jo Davenport, Ph.D. PT attended and presented at the conference. Below, she shares a few words on her experience as well as her presentation.


Attending the NEXT Annual Physical Therapy Conference & Exposition in Nashville was a great opportunity to reconnect with old and make many new friends in my area of interest.  I had the pleasure of attending some great presentations during the conference.  Some of these presenters shared cutting-edge research on practice as a movement system expert, collaborative practice opportunities and interventions for children with developmental and movement challenges.  Overall, it was a great experience.  I look forward to meeting up with students and colleagues next year in Boston!
