The Role Of A Physical Therapist

Physical therapists (PTs) are health care experts who treat and diagnose people of all ages, from newborns to the old people, who have medical issues or other health-related ailments that limit their capabilities to move and do functional activities in their daily lives.

PTs check each individual and create a plan using treatment methods to enhance the ability to reduce pain, restore, move, function, and prevent disability.

Pts Work With People To Block The Loss Of Mobility

PTs work with people to limit the loss of mobility before it happens by creating fitness and wellness based plans for a healthier and more active life.

Physical therapists give care for people in a variety of settings, including private practices, outpatient clinics, hospitals, schools, sports and fitness facilities, home health agencies, settings, nursing home, and work. State licensure is required in every state in which a physical therapist works.
