AMP is committed to engaging our community to educate on the benefits of physical therapy in the management and improvement of a variety of musculoskeletal pain symptoms. We are also committed to advocating and raising awareness in the fight for direct access to physical therapy services which will increase accessibility. Currently, the state of Texas restricts the right for people to choose their healthcare. Individuals are required to have a referral from a physician to receive physical therapy services. This restriction of patient rights serves as a barrier to all individuals, but especially those in vulnerable communities who already face many barriers to quality care.
