Physical Therapy is a rehabilitation health career field that prevents, identifies, corrects and alleviates acute or prolonged movement dysfunction of anatomic or physiologic origin. Working in conjunction with physicians and other health care professionals, Physical Therapists and Physical Therapy Assistants are valuable members of the health care team, trained to improve movement and function, relieve pain and expand mobility potential. Through evaluation and treatment programs, physical therapists can help existing problems and provide preventative health care for adults and children with a variety of needs.
