Doctor of Physical Therapy

A Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) is a healthcare professional trained to assess, diagnose, and treat movement disorders and physical impairments. They develop individualized treatment plans to improve strength, mobility, and function, often helping people recover from injuries, surgeries, or manage chronic conditions. DPTs use hands-on techniques, exercises, and education to enhance patients’ quality of life and prevent future issues. They work in clinics, hospitals, sports facilities, and community settings, collaborating with other healthcare providers to promote optimal movement and health outcomes.
