Physical Therapy focuses on restoring function and preventing
disability following disease, injury or loss of a body part. Physical therapists
work with patients to help them gain greater mobility, muscle strength and performance,
and joint motion and balance. They also provide training on mobility devices
if needed, such as crutches, canes, walkers, wheelchairs and artificial limbs or
braces. Their goal is to help each patient reach his/her maximal level of
performance.
