CONNECTION IN A TIME OF CRISIS
THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF SPORTS PHYSICAL THERAPY
March 24, 2020 Dear Academy Members: I hope you and those close to you are healthy and safe. It is truly an unprecedented time for all of us. No matter what part of the country and what type of practice you are in there are profound challenges. I wanted to share with you that APTA has been quite active in their response to this global pandemic. Specifically, the guidelines for physical therapy practice are quite relevant for all areas including sports physical therapy. Follow this link> Now, more than ever it is time for all of us to pull together as a team to be a part of the solution for our patients, our practices, our profession, our country, and our world. Whenever I communicate with our members, I feel the passion they have for sports physical therapy. The team approach that is so inherent to us in sports is oh so relevant and important during times such as these. The
team approach is how we will work through the toughest of times. Thank you for all you are doing to make the world a better place!
