What IS a physical therapist?

Learn more about the education and duties required of a physical therapist

It’s a question we hear in one form or another all of the time. What is a physical therapist? What does a Physical Therapist do? Are you a Doctor? Are you a “real” doctor? What kind of an education do you have?

In this month’s Best of Wellness Connection Video, learn what physical therapists are qualified to do – and what kind of education they have completed to become licensed. DPTs (Doctors of Physical Therapy) are qualified to evaluate injuries, identify functional limitations, develop treatment plans, provide rehabilitation after surgery or injury, improve strength and mobility, reduce pain, and help prevent future problems. We guide recovery for conditions involving joints, muscles, nerves, balance, and movement. Our doctoral-level training means we are highly educated in the science of movement and rehabilitation, allowing us to provide expert, patient-centered care safely and effectively.

Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing a chronic condition, or striving to optimize your performance, Allied Physical Therapy Wellness Community is here to help you achieve your goals – acting as your guide on your journey to rediscover joy, vitality, and the freedom to live life to the fullest.
