What is Physical Therapy?

The practice of physical therapy is the integration of examination, history, analysis, and restoration of movement dysfunction. Physical Therapy is concerned with health promotion, and injury prevention. The goal is to develop, maintain, and restore maximum movement and functional ability. The method of physical therapy sees full and functional movement as at the heart of what it means to be healthy.
