Physical Therapists are healthcare professionals who use techniques like massages, movement trainings and exercises to help people recover from their injuries or illnesses. They’ll work closely with patients to learn more about their conditions to develop personalized treatment plans that will return them back to normal health. Physical Therapists may perform treatments on patients while they’re staying in the hospital or medical facility. They’ll later educate the patients and their family members on how to perform these exercises and treatments while at home when the patient is released from the facility.
