Physical Therapist

A good physical therapist is one who can develop an achievable plan of care and help a patient through that plan. A great physical therapist is one who develops a realistic plan with measurable goals tailored to each patient's situation, with consideration to the physician, family, and other healthcare providers. A great physical therapist doesn't just go through the motions, instead listening carefully to a patient's concerns, monitoring progress, and adjusting plans as needed.
