Physical Therapist

Physical therapists work with patients to improve their movement and manage their pain. PTs use a variety of techniques to help their patients, including hands‑on therapy, strengthening and stretching exercises, electrical stimulation, ultrasound, ice/heat, and much more. Physical therapists work with patients who suffer from back and neck injuries, fractures, neurological disorders, work or sports‑related injuries, and other conditions. The treatments a physical therapist chooses will depend on the patient and their injury.
