Physical therapists are medical professionals who evaluate and treat individuals with movement limitations, whether from injuries, illnesses, or other health conditions. Through comprehensive assessments of patients across all age groups, these specialists identify movement restrictions and create customized treatment plans to enhance mobility, alleviate discomfort, and prevent physical decline. Their therapeutic approaches may include specialized exercises, functional rehabilitation, hands-on techniques, mobility aids, therapeutic modalities, and patient instruction.
