Illinois Physical Therapy Act
Illinois · Professions, Occupations, and Business Operations · §§ 225-90-0-05 to 225-90-9 · 54 sections
Overview
The act regulates the practice of physical therapy, defining the services that may be provided — including those delivered by telehealth and techniques such as dry needling — and requiring a license to offer them, subject to specified exemptions. It sets out the mechanics of licensure: examination, licensure by endorsement for those credentialed elsewhere, periodic renewal conditioned on continuing education, inactive status, restoration of expired licenses, and the fees supporting the whole system. Administration and enforcement rest with a state department working alongside a professional board, which may investigate, compel testimony, hold hearings, and discipline licensees through suspension, revocation, or surrender, while unlicensed practice and improper advertising draw civil penalties, injunctions, and cease and desist orders — with final decisions open to administrative review in court.
