Physical therapy, as defined by WebMD, is “care that aims to ease pain and help you function, move, and live better.” The care provided by licensed physical therapists, who have extensive training and education, is unique to each patient’s unique circumstances. Following a thorough evaluation in which medical history, mechanism of injury, and physical limitations are measured, a comprehensive care plan is developed with specific short-term and long-term goals to help measure progress throughout care. Regardless of age or ability, the profession of physical therapy offers something for everyone!
