Physical therapists (PTs) diagnose and treat individuals who have limitations in their ability to move and perform functional activities as well as they would like in their daily lives. They work with patients to regain or maximize movement in major extremities or regions of the body relating to the major extremities. Physical therapists examine each individual and develop a health treatment plan to promote the ability to move, reduce pain, restore function, and prevent disability.
