APTA represents over 100,000 physical therapists, physical therapist assistants, and students of physical therapy nationwide. Your OPTA/APTA membership grants you access to numerous benefits including advocacy at the state and national level, clinical education, public awareness, career development, conferences, evidence-based practice tools, news publications and magazines, payment resources, and multiple discount programs only available to members. At the state level (OPTA) you can also benefit from membership, continuing education courses, workshops, PT Night Out, conferences, leadership opportunities and more. By clicking on the Join Today button below, you will be directed to the APTA website. APTA works closely with each state chapter by setting up the membership and handling the dues.
