Welcome to the PPS Website! It is our goal to be your source of business information as for private practice physical therapy services. Your Section office is staffed by hard-working, dedicated individuals who have your needs in mind as they answer your questions and direct you to the right resources to accomplish your goals. The Section Board, which is elected by the members, is talented, motivated and committed to developing programs that serve your needs and improve your business acumen.

Our highest priority is to obtain Direct Access in the Medicare System and we are achieving that through an organized and unified effort with APTA. The Section leadership believes the success of this initiative is vital to the evolution of physical therapy in this country. When this becomes reality, it will put us on a level playing field with our competitors so we can provide service to the public and meet their rehabilitation needs.

I challenge you to get involved. This is a volunteer organization and the more PTs who are willing to share their expertise and knowledge, the more we will all learn and benefit. Call your Board Members or the Section office to find out how you can assist your colleagues in reaching the goals and directives determined by the Board. We can accomplish so much more collectively than any of us can individually.
