The ASHT Annual Meeting is right around the corner, taking place October 13-16 in Washington, DC. Today, we are joined by Kim Kraft, PT, DPT, CHT, the 2022 Annual Meeting Committee Chair. If you have not had the opportunity to attend the meeting in person, this will be the year to come. Kim gives us the inside scoop on what to expect at this year’s meeting: the Pre-Conference Institutes; how the plenary sessions and concurrent sessions work and opportunities to network with other therapists. If you cannot join us -- no worries! The virtual meeting option is back this year. Kim and her team have put a lot of hard work into this year’s meeting and you do not want to miss it!
