Celebrate World Physical Therapy Day!

Today, APTQI is proud to recognize World Physical Therapy Day, a day marking the value of the care provided by physical therapists not just across the country but across the globe.

Physical therapy is a non-pharmaceutical alternative treatment for injuries, chronic pain, or restricted mobility. In addition to rehabilitation benefits, physical therapy can be used as preventative healthcare to maintain balance, decrease fall risk, and improve cardiovascular function.

Through both recovery and prevention, physical therapy changes the lives of patients worldwide, helping them to live full, independent, pain-free lives. APTQI is proud to work with our members to advocate for the profession on behalf of physical and occupational therapy practices across the country, push for bipartisan legislation to further prevent falls, and fight for the modernization and stabilization of the Medicare payment system.
