Physical Therapy
Physical therapists are health care professionals with special expertise in the science of movement. They use this knowledge to provide:
- Education and preventive interventions to help people avoid injury and lead to healthier living.
- Therapeutic interventions including exercise to help people function to the best of their ability.
Physical therapists also play an important role in developing health policy and managing the physical therapy services provided to patients and clients.
Physical therapists work in many settings, including hospitals, rehabilitation centers, outpatient centers, nursing homes, schools, home health agencies, industrial sites, colleges and universities. Physical therapists can specialize in different areas of care, including:
- Orthopedics.
- Pediatrics.
- Geriatrics.
- Neurology.
- Sports medicine.
- Aquatics.
- Ergonomics.
- Wound care.
Physical therapy training usually begins after students have earned a bachelor's degree. This allows physical therapy students to acquire a broad-based education and to explore a variety of interests before starting their therapy training. Professional education includes academic study of the basic and clinical sciences, including anatomy, physiology and movement, as well as supervised clinical training.
