Physical therapists are health care professionals who diagnose and treat individuals of all ages, from newborns to the very oldest, who have medical problems or other health-related conditions that limit their abilities to move and perform functional activities in their daily lives.

Physical therapists help patients regain strength, mobility, and independence through customized exercise programs, hands-on care, and education. They work closely with individuals recovering from injuries, surgeries, strokes, or chronic pain to reduce discomfort, restore movement, and prevent further complications. Their goal is to improve overall physical function and quality of life so patients can return to their normal routines safely and confidently.
