Physical therapy is an integral and unique component of health care.
As a health profession, physical therapy focuses on the neuromuscular, musculoskeletal, and cardiopulmonary systems of the human body as these systems relate to human motion and function. Human movement and the ability to interact physically with one's environment are essential components of physical, emotional and social well-being. The physical therapist, through multidimensional roles in a variety of settings, is dedicated to promoting health, preventing disease, and rehabilitating people disabled by injury or disease. Physical Therapy Education at Sargent College Students and educators share the responsibility of a learning process that is dynamic, lifelong, and continuous. The type of professional education offered requires a mature student with demonstrated capability in the basic sciences, humanities, and social sciences, as well as interpersonal skills.
