Physical Therapy

Physical therapists help patients who are injured or ill improve their movement and manage pain through targeted exercises, hands-on care, and patient education. They play a key role in the rehabilitation and prevention of mobility issues related to chronic conditions, injuries, or surgery. Most physical therapists work in private practices, clinics, hospitals, nursing homes, or patients’ homes. Physical therapists must earn a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree and obtain a state license. DPT programs typically take 3 years to complete.
