Physical therapists, also called PTs, are allied health professionals who specialize in helping patients with injuries, physical disabilities, or health conditions that impact function, to improve movement and manage pain. PTs work with patients of all ages to enhance their quality of life through hands-on care, therapeutic exercise, and patient education. PTs play an important role in preventive care and rehabilitation. They often have a profound effect on patients’ lives by helping them regain or maintain their independence and lead active lives. The job outlook for physical therapists is highly promising with a projected growth of 18% between 2019 and 2029.
