Physical therapists work with patients to improve their movement and manage their pain. PTs use a variety of techniques to help their patients, including hands-on

therapy, strengthening, and stretching exercises, electrical stimulation, ultrasound, ice/heat, and much more.

Physical therapists work with patients who suffer from back and neck injuries, fractures, neurological disorders, work or sports-related injuries, and other conditions.

The treatments a physical therapist chooses will depend on the patient and their injury

Physical therapists help patients with injuries and chronic health conditions regain their range of motion, manage their pain, and improve their quality of life. For

example, if you need help managing lower back pain or recovering from an ACL tear, you would go to a physical therapist. PTs play a critical role not only in treating

musculoskeletal conditions but also in educating patients about staying fit and preventing future injuries.

therapists, speech therapists, or physical therapy assistants.
