Physical Therapy Licensing and Disciplinary Board

Physical therapists became regulated between 1951 and 1952. Physical therapy is the

treatment or evaluation of a person by the use of effective properties of physical measures

such as heat, cold, light, water, radiant energy, electricity, sound and air; the use of

therapeutic massage, exercise and mobilization; and the rehabilitative procedures for

preventing, correcting or alleviating a physical or mental disability. The Committee is made

up of seven members appointed by the Secretary, consisting of six actively practicing

physical therapists and one public member. The Committee is charged with providing

expert knowledge and advice on disciplinary matters and professional performance and

conduct.
