What is a Physical Therapist?

Physical therapists are licensed health care professionals who work with patients to reduce pain and improve or restore mobility. They specialize in musculoskeletal and neuromuscular injuries. The initial visit is designed to evaluate and identify the underlying cause of the injury. From there, a treatment plan is recommended that may include stretching and strengthening exercises to address pain, swelling and inflammation. At Therapy Solutions, extensive patient education is provided to encourage involvement and to promote injury prevention.
