Imagine that you’ve worked hard and saved enough money to buy a $100,000 car.  A year after you buy the car, you’re in an accident and the car is totaled.  Oops... you forgot to buy insurance to cover your car!  You’re out 100 grand.  Bet you wish you had insurance on your investment.

Unimaginable? Probably. But that’s just what many physical therapists and assistants do when they opt out of joining the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) and the Illinois Physical Therapy Association (IPTA).  Just like an expensive car, your education cost you time and money, and lots of it.   One way to protect that investment is to be a member of YOUR professional association.  Without APTA and IPTA, who will protect your practice, your income, and your ability to be a professional in Illinois?  We think you know the answer.

Of course, protecting your profession and your income is not the only benefit of membership.  The APTA provides services and benefits geared at a national focus including:

• Advocating for you and your patients in Washington, DC
• Getting adequate insurance reimbursement for your services
• Raising consumer awareness
• Helping you strengthen your expertise
• Providing mentors

Local perspectives are as important as the national scope, since the state you practice in regulates what you can do as a therapist or assistant.  The IPTA is focused on member needs here in Illinois.  We bring you information and opportunities that aren’t feasible for APTA to offer. We advocate for you and your patients with state government officials and other local groups.  We’re here for our members when they need information and advice, we provide outstanding opportunities for lifelong learning, and are our members’ link to their next career step.

Protect your investment in your profession and your career.  Join today!
