What do physical therapists do?
Physical therapists work with people of all ages who have acute or chronic illnesses or injuries that limit their ability to move, including:
disorders such as arthritis, tendonitis, and strains in joints and muscles
Post-surgical conditions requiring rehabilitation after surgery
The physical therapist is a medical professional who works with patients to help them regain or improve their functional abilities, manage their pain, and prevent or limit permanent damage to the body. Physical therapists examine, diagnose, and treat people with physical disabilities. They also evaluate each patient’s condition and develop a plan of care that may include exercise, manual therapy, education, and/or assistive devices.
