"Recognizing the incongruity of POPTS and APTA's/CPTA's Vision 2020 that embraces the autonomous practice of doctorally prepared professionals, the inherent conflicts of interest existing within POPTS, the loss of patient's right to choice of provider, and the increased cost to society identified resulting from POPTS, the APTA and CPTA have reaffirmed their decades-long opposition to physician-owned physical therapy services. APTA and CPTA support legislative and regulatory measures at the state and federal levels to ban physician ownership of physical therapy services."

The momentum behind this petition proves that professionals across the state are ready to defend our autonomy. Take a moment to text this link to three colleagues right now. We must keep this pressure on the legislators who oversee these practices.

WAY too much money involved here. PT should be separate from these doctor owned shops.

This really needs to stop. It ruins the reputation of our profession when we are just seen as extra revenue for surgeons.

Keep the business out of the patient care please. Patients are being treated like dollar signs.

It is a huge conflict of interest. Period. Being forced into a clinic just because the ortho owns it is wrong.

Patients deserve to pick where they go for treatment. Not just sent to a clinic down the hall because the doctor wants a cut of the profit.
