"Physical Therapy Law --§30-20
07/27/2010

Physical Therapy Law--§30-20 passed in the recent legislative session updates the practice of physical therapy.  The WV Board of Physical Therapy promulgated new rules to implement the new law.  Physical Therapist and PTAs need to know and follow the rules for lawful practice of PT.  The passage of law and subsequent rules to implement the law is a two-year process and is confusing.  The new law, current rules and proposed rules are displayed here for use of members and non-members alike.  If you have questions, contact the Chapter Office or the Board of Physical Therapy.  Here are the links to the law, the current set of rules (3 rules) and the proposed rules (6 rules) for additional legislative consideration.
