Enjoy Member Benefits As Part of AASPT!
The physical therapy profession is broad-based and diverse, representing a variety of specialized practice areas. Reflecting this diversity of practice, the American Physical Therapy Associations (APTA) offers individual memberships in its 19 nationwide special-interest organizations. These “sections” as they’re known, provide a forum in which physical therapists can exchange ideas and techniques unique to their area of practice.
If you are interested in sports medicine and healthy orthopedics, then this is the place for you! Almost 8,000 strong, the American Academy of Sports Physical Therapy is the second-largest section among the APTA’s components.
The American Academy of Sports Physical Therapy addresses the needs of members interested in athletic injury management, including acute care, treatment and rehabilitation, prevention and education.
Join the AASPT today! APTA membership is a prerequisite to Academy membership. For more information or to join, contact the APTA at 800.999.2782 or 703.684.2782. Or you may join online at this link.
