Physical therapists (PTs) are healthcare professionals who specialize in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of physical impairments and disabilities that affect a patient's ability to move and function. They use a variety of techniques and interventions to promote movement, reduce pain, restore function, and prevent disability. Physical therapists conduct thorough evaluations of their patients, including a review of their medical history, current symptoms, and functional abilities. Based on their assessment, physical therapists develop individualized treatment plans that may include exercises, manual therapies, modalities (e.g. heat or cold therapy, ultrasound), education, and other interventions aimed at improving movement, strength, flexibility, and function. Physical therapists regularly monitor their patients' progress and adjust their treatment plans as needed to ensure the best possible outcomes.
