Canonical page: https://career.thegoodapps.co/occupations/physical-therapist

Physical therapists diagnose and treat movement dysfunction, working in hospitals, outpatient clinics, and sports medicine settings to help patients recover strength and mobility after surgery, injury, or chronic conditions. Their work centers on hands-on manual therapy combined with a structured rehabilitation exercise programming plan built from an initial patient assessment. Like most clinicians today, they rely on electronic health records to track outcomes and coordinate care with physicians and other therapists.
