How can physical therapy help
Broadly, physical therapy involves the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of “movement dysfunctions”. PT’s examine patients and develop treatment plans that promote mobility, pain reduction, functional restoration, and disability prevention. In addition, PT’s work with individuals to prevent the loss of mobility before it occurs by developing fitness and wellness oriented programs for healthier and more active lifestyles.
All PT’s must receive a graduate degree from an accredited physical therapist program before taking the national licensure examination that allows them to practice physical therapy. The majority of programs now offer the doctor of physical therapy (DPT) degree. Only a Licensed Physical Therapist can offer you “Physical Therapy” services.
At your first appointment the physical therapist will perform a comprehensive evaluation and the appointment is typically 60 minutes. This will allow your therapist to begin learning about you, your ailment, injury, your physical therapy goals, and develop a customized plan of care. Follow-up appointments typically last 60 minutes.
