Michigan Physical Therapy Pain SIG
Welcome to the Michigan Physical Therapy Association Pain Special Interest Group (SIG)
The MPTA Pain SIG is the nation’s first state chapter pain SIG. It was created to promote excellence in pain education, treatment, and research and to improve the knowledge base and skill of physical therapy professionals in Michigan in the treatment of persons in pain. And to change the common cultural understanding of pain to further the goal of decreasing the burden of persistent pain in our state.
