Physical therapy is a healthcare discipline focused on restoring movement, function, and reducing pain through exercises, manual therapy, and modalities like heat or electrical stimulation. Physical therapists work with patients recovering from injuries, surgeries, or chronic conditions such as stroke or arthritis, often in clinics, hospitals, or sports settings. The field requires a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree and licensure in most jurisdictions.
