Physical Therapy
The physical therapists’ distinctive view of the body and its movement needs and potential is central to determining a diagnosis and an intervention strategy and is consistent whatever the setting in which practice is undertaken. These settings will vary in relation to whether physical therapy is concerned with health promotion, prevention, treatment or rehabilitation.


Physical Therapy, also commonly referred to as PT, is the instructional support and treatment of physical disabilities provided by a trained physical therapist, under a doctor's prescription, that helps a person improve the use of bones, muscles, joints, and nerves. It includes the use of massage, exercise, stretching, water, light, heat, and certain forms of electricity, all of which are mechanical rather than medical in nature. Physical therapy assists in maximizing a person's general fitness, sensorimotor development, neurobehavioral organization, neuroskeletalmuscular function, and cardiopulmonary status.
