Physical therapists are movement experts who
improve quality of life through prescribed exercise, hands-on
care, and patient education.
Physical therapists diagnose and treat individuals of all
ages, from newborns to people at the end of life. Many patients have
injuries, disabilities, or other health conditions that need treatment.
But PTs also care for people who simply want to become healthier and to
prevent future problems.
Physical therapists examine each person and then develops
a treatment plan to improve their ability to move, reduce or manage pain,
restore function, and prevent disability.
Physical therapists can have a profound effect on
people’s lives. They help people achieve fitness goals, regain or maintain
their independence, and lead active lives.
