Under what condition can a physical therapist from another state provide therapy in Ohio for an athletic team?

A physical therapist from another state can provide therapy in Ohio for an athletic team under several conditions that include all the listed options.

When a physical therapist is employed by the athletic team, they may provide care and treatment as part of their employment arrangement. This means the work they do consistently aligns with their professional obligations while representing the team.

Providing therapy for no more than 60 days per year is an important provision that allows out-of-state therapists to offer temporary services without needing a full Ohio license. This is especially relevant for events or situations where a therapist's expertise is necessary for a limited time.

Practicing in accordance with the compact privilege is a significant aspect applicable to states that have joined the Physical Therapy Compact. This compact allows for licensed physical therapists in participating states to practice with their compact privileges, thereby simplifying the legalities surrounding cross-state practice.

All these conditions are valid and complementary, serving the broader purpose of allowing qualified physical therapists to provide necessary care while maintaining compliance with Ohio's legal and professional standards.
