Physical Therapy

Physical therapists are at the heart of rehabilitation, and Chattanooga® proudly supports the profession through education, academic outreach, industry partnerships, and clinically relevant technology designed to help clinicians deliver better outcomes. Our commitment goes far beyond equipment—we work alongside clinicians, educators, and professional organizations to strengthen the physical therapy profession and prepare the next generation of physical therapists for real-world practice.

Chattanooga was built on a practitioner-first foundation, and that philosophy continues today through:

  • Evidence-based continuing education for licensed clinicians
  • Educational support for DPT and PTA programs nationwide, including hands-on student labs, virtual courses, and curriculum support
  • Partnerships with leading physical therapy organizations
  • Clinically trusted technology used in practices around the world

We also recognize that excellent clinical care depends on healthy, sustainable practices. Chattanooga helps clinics grow responsibly by integrating advanced technologies like high-intensity laser and extracorporeal shockwave therapy. From clinical training to implementation guidance and ROI tools, we help practices expand their services, attract new and past patients, and build long-term financial success.

Academic Outreach

Know your audience. The obvious route is to focus on subjects that have similar titles or expected routes through to your degree programme.

Outreach and engagement data collected through FRPA may be used for campus reporting by administrators to highlight the faculty's work with external audiences. It is important to accurately represent this connection so that the university can share stories about this work and how it benefits communities in Colorado and beyond. The information will not automatically be included when you submit your FRPA to your department chair. However, campus administrators can review this data if they choose.
What is Public Outreach and Community Engagement? The term "outreach" is used to describe the various ways in which the University extends its expertise for the direct benefit of Colorado communities and other external audiences. The University's exceptional resources of knowledge lie in the strengths of its faculty, research institutes, student body and academic programs.
Research and Creative Work Faculty conducting research intended to respond to pressing problems or issues identified by external constituencies, such as local communities, state, national or international agencies, business, citizen groups, schools, hospitals, arts or other public and nonprofit organizations. Research projects that result from a direct request or identified need from a community. Service
