In this episode, Katie Sutton sits down with Sarah Owens, PTA, a clinician, educator, and program director at Evidence In Motion (EIM) to discuss how PTAs can pursue orthopedic specialty certification, the evolving PTA–PT team dynamic, and what it takes to build a strong therapeutic alliance with patients.

From running a busy clinic in Morton, Illinois (aka the pumpkin capital of the world) to serving as the Illinois PTA Director, Sarah shares how certification, leadership, and good-old passion for Batman shape her professional journey.
