Physical Therapists work to help individuals develop, maintain, or return to as normal a pattern of movement and functioning as possible. They see individuals who have problems which affect their ability to walk or move about in a functional manner due to weakness, injury, joint limitation, or issues related to developmental disabilities.

After evaluation to identify specific needs, the physical therapist may provide:
