Physical Therapist

Physical therapists diagnose and treat individuals of all ages with medical problems or other health-related conditions limiting their abilities to move and perform functional activities. They develop treatment plans for patients to improve mobility, relieve pain, and reduce the need for surgery. They work with individuals to prevent the loss of mobility before it occurs by developing fitness and wellness programs for healthier and more active lifestyles.
