Black patients and Physical Therapy
Black physical therapists: movement, pain, and recovery. Concordance is linked to better PT adherence, yet Black PTs are only 3 percent of the field.
Physical therapists (DPTs) treat pain, movement dysfunction, and post-surgical recovery without drugs or surgery. Research in JOSPT (2021) found Black patients report better adherence and higher satisfaction when matched with Black PTs. That finding matters because less than 3 percent of U.S. physical therapists are Black (APTA, 2023). Black patients are also more likely to be steered toward medication-first treatment for back and knee pain rather than PT.
