Show Notes
Nick Patel returns to the PT Pintcast to break down the critical policy battles facing physical therapists, including the SAFE Act (H.R. 1171) to prevent falls and opioid use, Medicare reimbursement cuts, and the broader threats to PT's future workforce. If you think advocacy is someone else’s job — think again. Nick lays out what’s at stake, how individual PTs can get involved, and why organizations must step up.
