Physical therapists use diverse techniques to relieve their patients' pain and promote healing. These include ultra sound, electrical stimulation, moist heat, ice pack, stretches, exercises, and massage. Some physical therapists are willing to visit a patient's workplace to observe him in action and make suggestions to modify body movement or the work environment. A therapist with knowledge of biomechanics can make a number of suggestions without even visiting the workplace.
