Physical Therapy (PT) focuses on helping individuals develop, maintain and restore maximum movement and functional ability throughout life. Physical Therapists are experts in human movement who examine, diagnose movement impairments and treat individuals with conditions that limit their ability to move and perform functional activities.
Physical Therapists treat the consequences of disease or injury by addressing impairments, functional limitations, and/or disabilities in patients. Some of the more common conditions for which Physical Therapists examine and provide intervention and treatment include the following:
- Orthopedic conditions, such as low back and neck pain, headaches, and osteoporosis.
- Joint and soft-tissue injuries, such as sprains and strains, hand injuries, fractures and dislocations, and pre- and post-surgical conditions.
- Neurologic conditions, such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, Parkinson’s disease, cerebral palsy, peripheral nerve injury, and multiple sclerosis.
- Arthritic conditions, including osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis.
- Systemic diseases, such as cancer and AIDS/HIV infection.
- Workplace injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, cumulative trauma, and stress disorders.
- Sports Injuries, such as overuse injuries and trauma in recreational and professional athletes.
