The Foundation for Physical Therapy Research is a nonprofit organization that funds physical therapy research and helps develop researchers to optimize movement and health. It operates as an independent 501(c)(3) governed by a Board of Trustees, with volunteers and staff guiding strategy and day-to-day operations. The foundation aims to define the value of physical therapy, provide data to support evidence-based care, and foster innovative treatments and approaches. It is based in Alexandria, Virginia. Its activities target physical therapy professionals and the patients they serve by advancing research that strengthens the profession and informs practice. In 2025, FPTR announced expansion of its offices into India and Southern Asia, including efforts to reach semi-urban and rural communities where access to ethical, structured care is scarce.
