				treatment is treatment which is reasonable in terms of accepted physical
				therapy practice, and necessary to recovery of function by the patient. The use

				conduct, provided that it does not result in injury to a patient or create an
				unreasonable risk that a patient may be harmed.

				must be of such a level of complexity and sophistication, or the condition of
				the patient must be such, that the services required can be safely and
				effectively performed only by a physical therapist or physical therapist
				assistant under supervision of a physical therapist.
