Media Corps

APTA's Media Corps is a group of professionally media-trained physical therapists, representing various specialties and geographic locations who serve as primary spokespersons for APTA. The purpose of the APTA Media Corps is to serve as a resource for journalists who are working on stories that involve physical therapy practice, research, policy, and the critical role that physical therapists play on our nation's health care team.

Physical therapists are uniquely qualified to help consumers reduce pain, restore function, prevent disability, and improve mobility in order to Move Forward with life.
