Info Spotlight: Physical Therapy Specialists 💡
What is a Board-Certified Clinical Specialist?

Almost every physical therapist in practice has orthopedic experience and some may claim they are a ‘specialist’. But the truth is that most people receiving physical therapy haven’t really seen a “true” Board Certified Physical Therapist. 🧑‍⚕️

Just as there are many areas of medicine that physicians can specialize in (neurology, cardiology, nephrology, orthopedics, dermatology, etc.), the American Physical Therapy Association has established 7 specialty areas in which physical therapists can be board certified. Only 10% of the physical therapists in the U.S. are Board Certified in a specialty, which requires demonstrated experience in the specialty field and a passing score on an extensive written exam. This allows the Board Certified Specialist to display that they have a greater breadth of knowledge and skills in a particular area of practice than their peers.

So next time you are looking for someone with true knowledge in physical therapy, you want someone who is a Board Certified Clinical Specialist thru the APTA Directory:

https://specialization.apta.org/find-a-specialist

These specialists have advanced training, and must have completed at least 2,000 hours working specifically in their speciality field.

Our very own Dr. Kelly Gaiotti is proud to be the only Board Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist in Southern Vermont since 2016.
