Physical therapy is a form of healthcare that focuses on helping individuals recover from injuries, illnesses, and disabilities that affect their ability to move and function. Physical therapists work with patients to develop personalized treatment plans that may include exercises, stretches, manual therapy, and other techniques to improve strength, flexibility, balance, and mobility. Physical therapy can be beneficial for a wide range of conditions, including chronic pain, sports injuries, neurological disorders, and orthopedic conditions. In addition to helping patients recover from injuries and illnesses, physical therapy can also be used as a preventative measure to help individuals maintain their health and wellness and prevent future injuries.
