What does the practice of Physical Therapy mainly include?

Use of therapeutic exercises and rehabilitative procedures

Physical Therapy is a healthcare profession that focuses on the treatment of musculoskeletal injuries and disorders. As such, it mainly includes the use of therapeutic exercises and rehabilitative procedures to improve and restore mobility, strength, and function in patients. This helps them to recover from injuries or manage chronic conditions. The practice of Physical Therapy does not involve prescribing medications or performing surgical procedures, as these are solely within the scope of medical doctors. Although Physical Therapists may occasionally diagnose medical conditions, it is not the main focus of their practice.
