Overview:
Physical therapy (also called Physiotherapy) is a health care profession concerned with prevention, treatment and management of movement disorders arising from conditions and diseases occurring throughout the life span.

Physical therapists (PT’s) are health care professionals who diagnose and treat individuals of all ages, from newborns to the very oldest,who have medical problems or other health-related conditions that limit their abilities to move and perform functional activities in their daily lives. PT’s utilize an individual’s history and physical examination in diagnosis and treatment incorporating the results of laboratory and imaging studies.

The practice of physical therapy (PT) is rapidly changing and the contemporary PT practitioners are expected to have a higher level of knowledge and skills needed to meet a new demand for autonomous practice in physical therapy, and to fulfill the professional desire for evidence-based practice.
