What do Physical Therapists do?

Physical therapy treats the patient’s impairments. They try to improve the impairment itself by increasing mobility, alignment of bones or joins, or lessen pain. Primary goal is to get their patients back to motion with exercise, massages, or other techniques. We focus on preventing injury as to avoid surgery or long-term effects.
