SWORD Health, a digital musculoskeletal solution, announced a strategic collaboration with the American Physical Therapy Association to advance research around digital physical therapy and to support Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) within the PT profession.
SWORD is also committed to collaborating on policy initiatives to improve and standardize direct access laws at the state level, with national payers and in federal programs and to improve licensure mobility and portability by improved utilization of the national physical therapy licensure compact.
SWORD will commit at least $100,000 to the effort on an annual basis.
This initiative is the first step towards a deeper relationship between both entities, as SWORD Health will also collaborate with APTA on its ChoosePT platform to raise awareness towards the benefits of physical therapy in addressing MSK conditions as well as advocacy efforts to reduce barriers to accessing PT and integrating digital and hybrid care models in clinical practice.
