Welcome to the West Virginia Board of Physical Therapy

The WV Board of Physical Therapy (WVBOPT) is a state regulatory board that was created by the WV Legislature to regulate the practice of physical therapy in order to protect the public from the "unauthorized, unqualified and unregulated practice of physical therapy". The WVBOPT is a part of the Executive Branch of the Government which enforces laws.

License fees paid into the board affords regulated PT's and PTA's the privilege of practicing their profession within the borders of the State of WV.

The WVBOPT and West Virginia Physical Therapy Association (WVPTA) are two separate entities. The role and mission of the WVBOPT is to regulate the profession and to protect the public.

The WVPTA is an organization that represents the physical therapists and the physical therapist assistants in the state.

Association dues paid into the WV Chapter are separate and distinct from license fees that are paid to the WV Board of Physical Therapy. Association dues will afford PT's and PTA's in the state an opportunity to network and stay abreast of any legislation that may be proposed that could impact the profession.
