Philosophy of the Physical Therapy Department
The profession of physical therapy is an integral and essential part of the health care delivery system. The quality of care provided by physical therapists, to a broad spectrum of citizens of all ages and backgrounds in a variety of practice environments, has been a catalyst for the profession's expanding role. The primary purpose of physical therapy is to promote, restore and maintain optimal human function. Physical therapists, as autonomous health care providers, will collaborate with other providers in the system to examine, intervene and prevent human movement dysfunction.
The Department of Physical Therapy at ACT Transcription recognizes its responsibilities as part of a research, teaching and service institution. The challenge of discovering new knowledge gives our staff the ability to provide compassionate and efficacious and defensible examinations, interventions and referrals to the residents of the region, state and nation.
