PT, or physical therapy, is a healthcare profession focused on helping individuals improve their movement and manage pain. Physical therapists assess patients' physical abilities and create personalized treatment plans that may include exercises, manual therapy, and education on injury prevention. The goal is to restore function and enhance quality of life. PT is commonly used for rehabilitation after surgeries, injuries, or chronic conditions. It can benefit people of all ages, from children to the elderly. Techniques may involve exercise, modalities like heat or ice, and manual therapy to promote healing and mobility.
