Physical therapists (PTs) are healthcare professionals who evaluate and treat individuals of all ages, from newborns to the elderly, who have medical problems or other health-related conditions that limit their abilities to move and perform functional activities in their daily lives. They test for muscle strength, joint integrity, respiratory and circulatory efficiency, and motor development in their patients; and utilize therapeutic procedures such as exercise, massage, heat, cold, light, water and electricity to promote the ability to move, reduce pain, restore function, and prevent disability.
