WOW! You can now see a physical therapist without the need for permission from a doctor in Mississippi! :)

The Mississippi Chapter of APTA (APTA-Mississippi) is very excited to announce that yesterday Governor Tate Reeves signed Senate Bill 2072, which allows a Mississippi citizen to seek the care of a physical therapist without a physician referral. This will go into effect on July 1, 2024. This is a big win for Mississippians, giving us greater access to the healthcare we need and deserve.
This legislative success is due to the years of hard work from countless members of our profession. I would like to thank our President David Friloux and Past President Meg King for their advocacy and leadership. We also thank Steve Corbitt, our lobbyist, for his years of service to our profession and steady guidance through this legislative session. We would not have been able to move our bill without his positive relationships and leadership. Finally, we thank Senator Kevin Blackwell (bill sponsor), Representative Becky Currie (bill sponsor), Chairman Sam Creekmore, Chairman Hob Bryan, Subcommittee Chairwoman Angela Turner Ford, Lt. Governor Delbert Hosemann, House Speaker Jason White, and Governor Reeves for helping us move our profession forward in Mississippi.
This is a great day for our profession!

We are preparing for a statewide celebration in each District in the near future. Stay tuned for more details!

An 8 week study on twins and the comparison of a vegan and Carnivore diet.

Christopher Gardner, a professor in the Stanford Prevention Research Center who provided dietary advice to participants during the study stated,

“This suggests that anyone who chooses a vegan diet can improve their long-term health in two months,"
