physical therapy education

Physical therapy education prepares students to assess, diagnose, and treat individuals with movement difficulties caused by injury, illness, or disability. It involves studying the human musculoskeletal system, anatomy, and physiology, along with hands-on training in techniques to improve mobility, strength, and function. Students also learn about rehabilitation, pain management, and patient care. The goal is to help patients regain independence and quality of life through evidence-based interventions. Typically, it requires completing a professional degree program, such as a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT), which combines classroom learning with clinical practice.
