| | 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. |
