Physical therapist
A physical therapist is a licensed healthcare professional who evaluates movement and function and helps people improve their ability to take part in daily activities.
In everyday words
An assessment may include discussing your goals, reviewing symptoms, and observing relevant movements. Care can involve education, exercises, and other approaches chosen for your circumstances.
What to keep in mind
Physical therapy is called physiotherapy in many countries. An app or general exercise guide does not itself provide the same assessment as an appointment with a licensed professional.
