Physical Therapy Services Procurement in the US

This report is intended to assist buyers of physical therapy services. Physical therapists are healthcare practitioners who restore, improve and maintain the health and physical movement of patients with chronic or acute injuries and conditions. Physical therapy services address a range of issues, including back and neck strains, sprains, fractures, neurological disorders or other impairments related to motor function and body mechanics. Treatment may be administered through exercise, stretching techniques, heat application, orthotics or electrical stimulation. The majority of physical therapists run small or midsize practices with fewer than 500 workers, but large vendors with thousands of employees also exist in the market. Buyers include hospitals and other care facilities. This report excludes occupational and speech therapy services.
