In an effort to showcase our profession within the health care community and the impact PTs and PTAs have on the public at-large, APTA and the Private Practice Section of the American Physical Therapy Association (PPS) hosted a video contest in 2017. Physical Therapists were challenged to develop a piece of creative that challenged payors to acknowledge that physical therapy is the most cost-efficient, non-invasive, and speedy way to improve a patient's long-term condition. Contest participants were asked to highlight three key points in their videos:
- Physical Therapy Transforms Society
- Physical Therapy Reduces Health Care Costs
- Physical Therapy Improves Patient Outcomes
