The Growing Need for Physical Therapists
The American Women's Physical Therapeutic Association was the first organization of physical therapists and was formed in 1921 with 274 members. By the late 1930s, the name was changed to American Physiotherapy Association and men were admitted. Membership was just under 1,000. Today, the American Physical Therapy Association represents more than 72,000 members.
It’s predicted that by 2016 there will be more than 220,000 physical therapists working in hospitals, acute care facilities, and rehabilitation and orthopedic settings, and will earn an average of $67,000 to $95,000 per year. Physical therapists that have a specialty will be in great demand.
Physical Therapy
Millions of people suffer from aches and pains that conventional drug therapy alone cannot alleviate. Therapies such as injury prevention, work related and personal injury rehabilitation, post-surgical rehabilitation, and pain management combined with modalities like ultrasound, heat, ice, and steam should be detailed on the back of your business card. If you are a member of the APTA, including that on your business card will assure your patients that you are affiliated with a reputable and professional organization.
No Bones About It
If spinal manipulation and deep tissue massage are a complimentary part of your physical therapy services, be sure to let your clients know. You’ve worked very hard to get where you are so now you need to let your clients and patients know what you can do to help them to prevent injuries, and what you can do for them if they are injured or healing after surgery.
Let's Get Physical
Clinics that specialize in sports medicine, cardiovascular exercise, spinal stability, core strengthening, and therapeutic exercise will be kept very busy as society gets more active and more mobile. Your business card should reflect all of the various therapies your clinic offers along with your clinic hours and emergency numbers.
