FSBPT coordinates the activities of state licensing boards for physical therapy and supports regulatory work across the profession. It is based in Alexandria, Virginia, and operates within the education administration programs sector. Its mission is to safeguard the public by providing guidance and leadership that promote safe, competent physical therapy practice, and its vision centers on strong regulatory standards, reliable assessments of competence, and broad public awareness of protective resources. Its primary audience includes state licensing boards, practicing physical therapists, and other regulators, reflecting its role as a mid-sized organization serving a national network. The organization seeks to establish and uphold protective practice standards across the field. A notable recent development is a January 2026 collaboration with the Healthcare Regulatory Research Institute to develop a self-assessment tool intended to promote licensee well-being and healthier professional practice.
