The professional scope of physical therapist practice is grounded in basic, behavioral, and clinical sciences. It is supported by education, based on a body of evidence, and linked to existing and emerging practice frameworks.

The professional scope of practice evolves in response to innovation, research, collaboration, and changes in societal needs.
