Physical therapists are now a doctoral educated health care professional and serve an important role in helping patients in our aging society regain and maintain their physical abilities. In addition, they serve to rehabilitate sports and exercise enthusiasts from athletic injuries. Physical therapists provide a truly “hands on” relationship with the patient as they carry out their healing component of physical medicine. In addition, physical therapy modalities overlap with several other health care practitioners who use the identical billing codes to bill for their services, too. This patient relationship and billing practices places physical therapists in a unique position of vulnerability to claims of misconduct. In the context of these doctor-patient relationships, what are the top legal and ethical violations against physical therapists? Identify and understand the most common complaints against physical therapists which may have catastrophic consequences and career ending impact.
