PHYSICAL THERAPISTS (PT) are professionally educated at the college or university level and are required to be licensed in the state they practice. Therapists posses a minimum of a Bachelors of Science (BS) degree, have successfully completed clinical affiliations (internships) and passed national and state licensure exams. Because of the increasing complexity of rehabilitation today, programs in PT have expanded to Masters or Doctoral degrees ranging in length from 5 to 7 years.

PT's specialize in rehab services for persons who have physical impairments, functional limitations, disabilities or changes in health due to injury, disease or other causes:

• Musculoskeletal problems such as strains and sprains
• Fractures, tendon and ligament injuries and surgical repairs
• Degenerative disk disease, herniated disks, stenosis, spinal surgeries and fusions
• Bursitis, tendonitis, nerve entrapments
• Neuromuscular programs such as strokes and head injuries
• Cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, ALS and M.S.
• Vertigo, dizziness, fall risk
• Incontinence
