APTA Orthopedics | Pain Community
The Pain Community Wants You
Volunteer. Lead. Shape the future of pain in physical therapy.
Our community grows stronger when members step forward to share their time, ideas, and expertise. We are now opening volunteer positions across our three committees — and we want you to be part of it. Whether you have a single hour a month or want to step into a leadership role, there is a place for you.
Read on to find the committee that fits your interests, then complete the volunteer application to get involved.

Ready to Lead?
We are looking for members interested in serving as committee chairs — now or down the road. Chairs guide their committee’s direction, coordinate volunteers, and represent the committee to community leadership. You don’t have to commit to a chair role to volunteer, but if you’re curious about leadership, we’d love to hear from you.
Interested in chairing? Apply below.
