Dr. Vijay Kumar has been a member of the Michigan Physical Therapy Association (MPTA) from his office in West Branch, Michigan since he founded his first practice in the area decades ago. Dr. Kumar and the MPTA have long had some of the same goals: to ensure that high professional and ethical standards are upheld throughout the state. Dr. Kumar has been known within the professional organization as a standard-setter himself, pushing for more aquatic physical therapy facilities in the community to help more people who would benefit and worked to allow patients to get physical therapy treatment without a referral from another doctor in Michigan.
The MPTA is an organization of physical therapists, students, and assistants dedicated to providing quality health care options for rehabilitation and the prevention of injury and mobility-reducing conditions are available for the people who need them throughout the state of Michigan. Dr. Vijay Kumar joined his facility in West Branch with the MPTA because of its emphasis on education and awareness in the community. For Dr. Vijay Kumar, a key impediment for people finding and using his facility in West Branch for their physical therapy needs is a lack of education on how physical therapy helps people recover range of motion and recover from injuries.
Dr. Vijay Kumar West Branch has used his association with the MPTA to draw patients and professional attention to his facility in West Branch. He is heavily involved in developing the MPTA’s message and hopes to count on its support during next year’s state representative elections, where he hopes to win representation of Michigan’s 103rd district.
