Why sign?

Support the workforce. Strengthen patient care.

Physical therapists and physical therapist assistants help people regain mobility, independence, and quality of life. Fair compensation, meaningful benefits, sustainable workloads, and stronger reimbursement help experienced professionals remain in practice and provide excellent care.

When we support the people providing care, we strengthen care for everyone.

Constructive professional advocacy

Many voices. Shared purpose.

Stand for PT supports respectful discussion of lawful advocacy tools—including association and policy work, a professional federation, or union representation where workers freely choose it—to advance sustainable careers and conditions that support excellent patient care.
