The Physiatric Association of Spine, Sports and Occupational Rehabilitation (PASSOR) is the official musculoskeletal council of the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation representing more than 1,100 physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists. PASSOR represents the special needs of the musculoskeletal medical practitioner.

Physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) physicians specialize in a wide array of problems affecting the musculoskeletal system. PM&R specialists are experts in occupational medicine, sports medicine, spine medicine, and pain management. The breadth of their diagnostic expertise allows a complete and specific nonsurgical treatment program – an approach that goes beyond the resolution of symptoms to prevention of recurrence. Physiatrists uniquely recognize the importance of maintaining function in people’s lives even when musculoskeletal conditions become chronic.
