No stranger to physical therapy, Hydro Flask U.S. Snowboard Team member Bea Kim shares how physical therapists can be an athlete’s best friend, particularly after a shoulder injury sidelined her briefly in the run-up to the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy.

After attending her dream school, USC DPT graduate Shannon Colleton has the tools to keep the Women’s Alpine Team in tip-top shape as they make their way to Cortina, Italy to compete in the 2026 Winter Olympics.

USC is home to one of a few DPT programs nationwide to offer its students a dedicated anatomy lab. Earlier this month, the Division will hold its third annual donor appreciation ceremony to thank the family members whose loved ones donated their bodies to educate future physical therapy professionals.
