In reply to Sage. Sage, Thanks for reading our post and for joining in the conversation. If we can get more people to express their disappointment with the current leadership maybe we can foster some positive changes for our great profession.

I love the commercial idea! Seriously what is so hard about lobbying for that? If we simply made a 20 sec commercial stating the “Physical therapy is a service to help any physical ailment or decrease physical pain. If you’re suffering from an injury or chronic pain go see your local PT today. #ChoosePT” we’d immediately more people in the clinic and I wouldn’t have to answer the same question “what is physical therapy?”. Ridiculous that the people in charge aren’t using the simplest ways to promote us to the public

In reply to Jon Waxham, PT. Just a clarification, Sections do now have 2 votes in the House of Delegates as of last year.

In reply to Loraine. Loraine, thanks for your thoughts. How crazy is it that with 40+ years of effort towards direct access that we would still need to get a referral for a cane. Let's hope the APTA hears our frustration and decides to change course.

In reply to Sherwin Ocampo. Sherwin, It is a great profession which is why I am concerned about our future. We do need the APTA to protect us. I think they could re-capture many past members if they refocused their efforts and provided much more transparency.

In reply to Eddie. Eddie, Just to clarify neither the Sections or the PTA Caucus get to vote on motions, only the State Delegates. However both of those groups can bring motions to the House floor. To your other point, I agree with you 100% that PTA's are not given an equal voice. I think the Association has not valued their membership as much as they should which is why only 7% of PTA's decide to join. Thanks for your comments.

In reply to cb smith. CB, that is a great idea and is an example of something that should be part of a comprehensive marketing strategy that PT just doesn't seem to have.
