Title Protection

I asked a question about title protection and here was the response... thanks...

We do have title protection of "PT, PTA, SPT, SPTA" in all 50 states. We also have term protection of "physical therapy" in all 50 states so only licensed PT/PTAs can provide physical therapy. Reporting infractions depends. If the person violating this is a licensed professional (ie. MD, DC, DPM, ATC) then reports should be filed to the state licensing board of that specialty practice area. If the person is not licensed (ie. personal trainer, exercise phys...) then infractions should be taken to the State PT Board.

The original question came from our vice chair in the NYSSIG in regards to Bally's using the term "PT" to promote their personal trainers... the last thing we need is more confusion in the medical field... that's all for now... I am on spring break, enjoying my time off, but I can't leave you all without something fun to read ;)
