What education and qualification do Physical Therapists have?

Physical Therapists are professionally educated at the college or university level and are required to take a rigorous Board examination in the State in which they practice.

Physical Therapists may choose to be certified as clinical specialists through the American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties. These therapists must have a number of hours of practice in the specialty, and must pass an additional Board examination in their chosen specialty.
