Physical therapists (PTs) are highly-educated, licensed healthcare professionals who can help patients reduce pain and improve or restore mobility, in many cases without the need for invasive procedures often reducing the need for long-term use of prescription medications.
PTs can teach patients how to prevent or manage their condition so that they will achieve long-term health benefits. PTs examine each individual and develop a plan of care using treatment techniques to promote the ability to move, reduce pain,restore function and prevent disability. In addition, PTs work with individuals to prevent the loss of mobility before it occurs by developing fitness and wellness-oriented programs to help people lead more healthy and active lifestyles.
At the core is the patient's involvement in their own care through education, awareness, empowerment and participation in their treatment.
