Physical Therapy
Overview
Welcome to the Michigan Board of Physical Therapy website! Our goal is to provide up-to-date information on various topics related to the practice of physical therapy in Michigan. We hope you find this information helpful and invite you to check out our website often.
In July 2026, the Governor signed Public Act 43 of 2026 and Public Act 44 of 2026 into law, permitting Michigan to begin the process of participating in the Physical Therapy Licensure Compact. Pursuant to the laws’ timelines, the Bureau does not expect the compact’s privilege to practice process to being in Michigan until early 2028. Please monitor this webpage for additional information and updates.
