The Philippine Physical Therapy
Association, Inc. is the professional organization of Filipino
physical therapists accredited by the Professional Regulations Commission.
It is a member of the World Confederation for Physical Therapy as well as
the Asian Confederation of Physical Therapy.
Since its foundation on December 8, 1964, the
PPTA has served for the betterment of the delivery of physical therapy
services in the Philippines by advancing the cause of the physical therapy
profession.
Aside from the annual conventions, seminars,
and workshops, the PPTA has pushed for the establishment of Special
Interest Groups (SIGs) and the publication of its official
journal-magazine, ImPeTus.
Being in the forefront for the advancement of
the physical therapy profession in the Philippines, the PPTA has played a
very active and significant role in pursuing the amendment of Republic Act
5680 (The Philippine Physical and Occupational Therapy Law). Under the
previous congress, the proposed bill filed by the PPTA has reached the
public hearing stage under the Senate, and the technical working group
stage under the Lower House. Unfortunately, due to recent changes in our
government, the processing of the bill has come to a standstill.
Presently, under the renewed House of Congress, the PPTA has refiled the
proposals, and shall start anew from stage one.
The PPTA is imploring the help of all
concerned physical therapists to actively participate in this worthy
cause.
The PPTA is closely linked with several local
organizations and companies:
- Professional Regulations Commission (PRC)
- Department of Health (DOH)
- Philippine Society of Hypertension
- Philippine Lipid Society
- Council of Professional Health
Associations (COPHA)
- Philippine Federation of Professional
Associations (PFPA)
- Council of Health Agencies of the
Philippines (CHAP)
- Bantay-Bata Philippines
- Pfizer Philippines
