Physical therapists (PTs) are health care professionals who diagnose and
treat individuals with medical problems that limit their ability to move
and perform functional activities. We are movement experts who treat individuals
of all ages, from newborns to the very oldest and focus on optimizing
quality of life through prescribed exercise, hands-on care, and patient
education.
Each individual is examined and a plan is developed, using treatment techniques
that promote the ability to move, reduce pain, restore function, and prevent
disability so that patients will achieve long-term health benefits. Additionally,
PTs provide recommendations to prevent the loss of mobility before it
occurs by developing fitness and wellness-oriented programs for healthier
and more active lifestyles.
State licensure is required in each state in which a physical therapist
practices.
