Section 700-X-1-.01 - Purpose

The Alabama Board of Physical Therapy was created to ensure that the public is protected from the incompetent practice of physical therapy. This purpose is achieved through the establishment of minimum qualifications for entry into the profession, through the adoption of rules defining and delineating unlawful conduct, and through swift and effective discipline for those practitioners who violate the applicable laws or rules promulgated thereunder. The Board may, at its discretion, conduct scheduled or unscheduled inspections of facilities in which physical therapists practice to determine compliance with applicable statute/regulation.
