Physical Therapy Clinic
What is Physical Therapy?
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. Many patients have injuries, disabilities, or other health conditions that need treatment. PTs also care for people who simply want to become healthier and to prevent future problems.
Physical therapists examine each patient and then develops a treatment plan to improve their ability to move, reduce or manage pain, restore function, and prevent disability.
Physical therapists practice in a wide range of settings, including hospitals, outpatient clinics, people’s homes, schools, sports and fitness facilities, workplaces, and nursing homes.
To practice as a physical therapist or physical therapist assistant in the U.S., you must earn a degree from a Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education-accredited program and pass a state licensure exam.
