Physical therapy involves trained and licensed professionals with experience in diagnosing physical abnormalities (related to and injury, disability, disease, or condition), restoring physical function and mobility, maintaining physical function, and promoting physical activity.
Physical therapists provide care to patients in all stages of healing, from the initial diagnosis to recovery. It is provided either as a standalone option or as a support to other treatments.
Also, a physical therapist often trains patients in exercises that they can later do independently at home.
