In accordance with the Seventh-day Adventist Church and Andrews University, the mission of the Department of Physical Therapy is to provide a quality physical therapist education within a cooperative learning environment that promotes Christian values. The physical therapy department provides resources and encourages faculty to continue their educational, professional, and spiritual growth. The physical therapy faculty delivers, within a Christ-centered environment, the knowledge base and clinical skills that will prepare students for contemporary physical therapy practice. Physical therapy graduates will serve Christ as evidenced by their ministering to the needs of others through the delivery of effective professional healthcare. The physical therapy department faculty and graduates comprise a Christian network that is balanced in the development of the spiritual, mental, physical, and social life of its members.

Physical therapists work closely with their client?s family, physician, and other members of the medical team to help their client return to their home environment and resume activities and relationships of normal daily living.
