What Is Physical Therapy?
Physical therapy is the rehabilitative process of restoring and regaining movement, maintaining physical function, and developing independence. It is a comprehensive journey that starts with thorough assessments, then extends through the restorative and preventive stages of recovery.
What Does a Physical Therapist Do?
Physical therapists (PTs) are highly-trained medical professionals who treat individuals with medical conditions that limit their functional mobility. PTs carefully examine each of these individuals, developing a plan that incorporates effective techniques that help with the following:
- Improve one’s ability to move
- Reduce pain
- Restore function
- Prevent disability
- Avoid injury
A physical therapist’s evaluation process typically consists of
- Taking the patient’s medical history
- Conducting a systems review
- Performing tests and evaluations
- Executing preemptive and safety measures
- Identifying potential and existing problems
- Monitoring the treatment process
- Offering consultations
- Conducting re-examinations
- Modifying said consultations as necessary
- Developing and implementing discharge plans
