The American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), in 2000, adopted a vision statement for its profession

The American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), in 2000, adopted a vision statement for its profession in physical therapy. This vision is ‘transforming society by optimizing movement to improve the human experience’ (Hayhurst, 2014). The Association however has a strategic plan to help its members achieve their vision. As a future physical therapist, I would come up with my own principles that will guide me in achieving this vision. The principles would clearly demonstrate how the society in general would look after the vision of transforming society has been achieved.
Despite the fact that the American physical Therapy Association is adopted a vision for its future physical therapists, it also has a great impact to the society at large. It inspires people in the society to come together as a community to create important systems that may optimize movements and great functions for all people. All people that contribute and participate in the society move from one place to another to gain more experience. It is said to be a means of a most favorable way of living and excellence of life. This applies to any individual that extends beyond health to his or her ability to participate in the society. The society, however, may also involve some complex needs that may result to a poor lifestyle that may further lead to a physical therapy. Examples of these complex needs could be the needs that may eventually result from a sedentary lifestyle. The physical therapy may give way to a reduction of the costs for health cares and at the same time, it may overcome all barriers that may prevent involvement in the society which will further guarantee a good future existence of the society at large (Hayhurst, 2014).
As a future physical therapist, I would evaluate and manage people’s movement in order to encourage a very favorable development, limit activities, make a diagnosis of impairments, restrict participation, and provide intercessions that may prevent or ameliorate limitations in activities and participation. My central point is the movement system with my main reason being to improve the health of the society. This is mainly because the movement system helps one to understand the structure, the functioning and the potential of the human body. This is where I would mainly practice on to encourage and promote the most favorable development. After that identity, I would go ahead and involve myself in dissemination, validation and generation of the evidences that take up payments for the outcomes and the clients’ satisfaction.
