The private company is based in Washington, DC. The Alliance for Physical Therapy Quality & Innovation is a coalition of community-based physical therapy practices and therapists dedicated to advancing physical therapy as a clinically appropriate, high-value treatment option. The organization focuses on policy advocacy, payment reform, quality initiatives, patient outcomes, and innovation to position physical therapy as a vital, cost-effective healthcare solution. It engages with Congress, federal regulators, payers, and healthcare policy influencers to promote transparency, reduce regulatory burdens, and improve patient access. The alliance emphasizes physical therapy’s role in preventing falls among older adults, managing chronic pain, and reducing reliance on opioids and invasive procedures. It advocates for legislation to expand Medicare coverage for comprehensive falls risk assessments and addresses workforce development concerns, including preserving the “professional degree” designation for therapy degrees. The organization offers tiered membership options for providers and vendors, providing benefits such as lobbying access, policy updates, and networking opportunities. The company was founded in 2013.
