The
Oncology Section of APTA is
creating a series of Oncology PT Fact
sheets. Each fact sheet will
deal with a different aspect
of physical therapy treatment
in cancer and HIV patients.
The American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) and your physical therapist (PT) are active in lobbying Congress to make sure that your services remain covered under programs like Medicare. As Congress continues to trim costs, it is important for patients to let their voices be heard.
