About the CAPP Program
The Certificate of Advanced Practice in Physical Therapy (CAPP) was developed by the Academy of Pelvic Health Physical Therapy (APTA Pelvic Health), the national professional association for physical therapy providers who specialize in pelvic and abdominal health physical therapy. APTA Pelvic Health is a component of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA).
The Certificates of Advanced Practice in Physical Therapy (CAPP) are awarded to licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) and Physical Therapist Assistants (PTAs) who complete rigorous series of evidence-based educational courses, written and clinical examinations, and a final reflection project reviewed by Academy-appointed reflection reviewers.
These programs are designed to help clinicians build advanced clinical knowledge, practical skills, and confidence while demonstrating a commitment to specialty practice.
