Polarity Therapy Standards for Practice

In 1989, APTA published the Polarity Therapy Standards for Practice, creating a consensus statement of the scope and content of Polarity Therapy, and setting the foundation for the registration of practitioners and Approved Trainings. Shortly thereafter, APTA also produced its Code of Ethics and created administrative functions to support the growth of Polarity Therapy.  In 2003, APTA published the Standards for Practice and Education, 4th edition, which establish the minimum requirements for Approved Trainings relevant to Program Administration.  In October 2007, APTA revised Section 2, Standards for Education, which defines the minimum standards of excellence to effectively teach and manage APTA Approved Trainings.  In March 2008, APTA updated Part Two, Anatomy & Physiology.  In June 2008, APTA revised Section Three, Registered Polarity Educator.  The fifth edition of The Standards for Practices and Code of Ethics can be accessed by clicking on the following link.
