Key Responsibilities

As a Physical Therapist, you are a key healthcare professional specializing in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of individuals with physical limitations or injuries. Your expertise in movement science and rehabilitation enables you to develop personalized treatment plans to help patients restore function, alleviate pain, and improve mobility.

Here's an overview of the primary responsibilities of a Physical Therapist:

Comprehensive Assessment: Through clinical examination and relevant diagnostic tests, Physical Therapists identify impairments, functional limitations, and contributing factors to develop a holistic understanding of each patient's condition.
Treatment Planning and Implementation: Develop individualized treatment plans based on assessment findings, patient goals, and evidence-based practice guidelines. Physical Therapists utilize a variety of interventions, including - therapeutic exercises, manual therapy techniques, modalities, and patient education, to address impairments, improve function, and promote overall well-being.
Manual Therapy and Therapeutic Techniques: Perform hands-on manual therapy techniques, such as joint mobilization, soft tissue mobilization, and manual stretching, to address musculoskeletal dysfunctions and improve tissue mobility. Physical Therapists also prescribe therapeutic exercises, functional activities, and neuromuscular re-education exercises to enhance strength, flexibility, and motor control.
Pain Management and Modalities: Physical Therapists tailor the application of treatment modalities to each patient's needs, closely monitoring their responses and adjusting treatment parameters as necessary.
Functional Training and Rehabilitation: Guide patients through functional mobility training, gait training, and activities of daily living (ADL) retraining to improve their ability to perform essential tasks and participate in meaningful activities. Physical Therapists incorporate real-life scenarios and environmental modifications to facilitate the transfer of skills to home and community settings.
