What is Physical Therapy?
...One great answer to this question can be found
at the official website of the
American Physical Therapy Association.
Doctors send people to physical therapy for a
reason: They already know that most health issues benefit from conservative
management. That's where physical therapy comes in. In fact, more than
750,000 people a day in the United Staes are referred to physical therapy.
Physical Therapy is called an "Allied Health
Profession." Like nursing, occupational therapy, and speech therapy... we
are all "allies" of the doctor and are recognized as such by the
American Medical Association. Some of
the specific areas of treatment covered by physical therapy can be found
