what industry is physical therapy in
Physical Therapy. Although it's still bouncing back, the physical therapy industry is poised for huge growth. Thanks, Baby Boomers. Looking at the numbers, one might be discouraged. IBISWorld's predictions show the physical therapy industry might barely grow through the rest of 2011.
