Physical therapists examine patients’ medical histories and then test and measure patients’ strength, range of motion, balance and coordination, posture, muscle performance, motor function, and respiration. They also assess a patient’s ability to be independent and reintegrate into the community or workplace after an injury or illness. Physical therapists also develop treatment plans describing a treatment strategy, its purpose, and the anticipated outcome. Treatment includes exercise for patients who have been immobilized and lack flexibility, endurance, or strength. Physical therapists also encourage patients to use their muscles to increase their flexibility and range of motion before advancing to other exercises that improve endurance, strength, balance, and coordination. The goal is to improve how an individual functions.
