What is a Physical Therapist?

Physical therapists are licensed professionals who work with people who have sustained disabilities, impairments or limitations in their overall physical function.

These deviations can be the result of disease, injury or pathological processes. Physical therapists examine, evaluate, diagnose, develop treatment plans and provide prognosis for each patient on an individual basis. Through various modalities, physical therapists work to restore function, improve mobility, and decrease pain with the goal of re-establishing a patient's prior functional level.

Physical therapists and assistants focus on the assessment of strength, balance, range of motion, co-ordination, endurance and posture of each individual patient. From the initial examination, the physical therapist then develops a treatment plan specific to correcting pertinent physical findings. Each patient's individual treatment plan is geared toward reaching specific rehabilitation goals that are set by the therapist and the patient together as a team. However, the physical therapist will help in determining realistic goals through their knowledge of pathology and prognosis.

What is a Physical Therapist Assistant?

A physical therapist assistant is a licensed, trained individual who works alongside physical therapists. They work closely with the therapist to augment the therapeutic program established by the therapist and carry out treatment sessions. Assistants have been trained in the various therapeutic modalities to ensure a safe and effective treatment session.

Rehabilitation strategies often involve specific exercises to stretch and strengthen muscles as well as to improve posture, balance and endurance. Physical modalities including heat, cold, ultrasound and electrical stimulation are also incorporated into most treatment sessions. Traction machines and massage are two other valuable techniques for functional improvement and pain reduction. Assistive devices such as crutches, canes and walkers are often used to increase patient independence.
