Doctrine• N9 (Physical Therapy Technician) Scope Of 

Practice

• Building the Soldier Athlete (BSA) Reconditioning (Profile) Physical Training Supplement– Core document for ARP– Details unit‐level exercise regimens for specific 

musculoskeletal injury types

• BSA Injury Prevention & Human Performance Optimization– Details unit‐level exercise regimens for the 

uninjured Soldier

• FM 7‐22 (Formerly Training Circular 3‐22.20– Primary Army doctrine for all APRT

Page 6: BIO - NSCA · Doctrine • N9 (Physical Therapy Technician) Scope Of Practice • Building the Soldier Athlete (BSA) Reconditioning (Profile) Physical Training

Doctrine• Warrior Transition Command                      Policy MemWarrior Transition Command                          CTP Policy & Guidance (Dec 2010)– Describes all processes of the CTP– Describes roles and responsibilities of the WTU PT

• o 09‐005: Physical Training for Soldiers in WTUs (14 Oct 09)– All WII Soldiers conduct ARP 5 hrs/wk according to ability

– In conjunction with other physical activities (e.g adaptive sports, MWR programs, etc.)

Page 7: BIO - NSCA · Doctrine • N9 (Physical Therapy Technician) Scope Of Practice • Building the Soldier Athlete (BSA) Reconditioning (Profile) Physical Training

INTENT

• Utilize SR 68F (N9) as subject matter expert for  Restorative PRT Program; develop plan of progression IAW PRT guidelines

• Conduct PRT for profiled soldiers• Evaluate and assess profiles • Maintain physical readiness in conjunction with profile

• Reduce risk of re‐injury

Purpose of ARP in the WTU

• Reconditioning of WII Soldiers in the WTUs• Address deficits in any of the six domains of a Soldier’s life.• Prevent new injury or aggravation of existing injury• Speed recovery• Facilitate teamwork amongst all medical providers• Organized system of physical training for commanders• Consistent with Army Physical Readiness Training (APRT)  

Doctrine• Not the traditional Restorative APRT for typical MSK injury 

– It can be (but not exclusively) a modified version of APRT– Not synonymous with Army Physical Fitness Testing (APFT)

Why is an OrganizedProgram Necessary?

• RPRT is part of Army culture and requirement

• Traditional: “Profile” PT organized by broad categories (e.g. all injured or slow/fast runners) – Problem: non‐specific type or dosage of 

physical activity

• “Profile” PT executed/perceived incorrectly?– Command complaints: lacks discipline and 

Soldiers return to the barracks – Soldier complaint: ridiculed for injury, “lumped 

together” with “malingerers”– Might result in less than optimal recovery, 

aggravation, re‐injury or new injury?
