licensed physical therapist

A licensed physical therapist is a healthcare professional trained to assess, diagnose, and treat movement disorders and physical injuries. They develop personalized treatment plans to improve strength, mobility, and function, helping patients recover from injuries or manage chronic conditions. Licensing ensures they have completed necessary education, practical training, and passed exams to practice safely and effectively. They often work with patients recovering from surgery, injury, or illness, aiming to reduce pain and restore normal movement to enhance quality of life.
