What is a Physical Therapist?

A Physical Therapist is responsible for helping patients recover from injuries or illnesses that have affected their ability to move and perform everyday activities. They assess the patient's condition and develop a treatment plan that may include exercises, manual therapy, and other techniques to help improve mobility, reduce pain, and prevent further injury. Physical therapists also educate patients about their condition and how to manage it, as well as collaborate with other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care. They may work in a variety of settings, including hospitals, clinics, and rehabilitation centers, and must have strong communication and interpersonal skills to work effectively with patients and their families.
