Diagnostics
To initiate a physical therapy program, a physical therapist must first examine the patient. This includes gathering history and selecting and administering specific tests and measures to obtain data.
Treatments & Support
The physical therapist will work with the patient, doctors, family and caregivers to determine goals. These goals will determine the specific types of interventions the team will use to achieve the desired outcome. A physical therapy plan may include exercise, strength training, balance training, manual therapy techniques, postural retraining, wound care and education.
