Career in PHYSIOTHERAPY

Physical therapy is performed by either a physical therapist (PT) or a physical therapist assistant (PTA) acting under the direction of a PT.
However, various non-PT health professionals employ the use of some physical therapeutic modalities in practice. A program of physical therapy will typically also involve a patient’s caregivers. Physiotherapy is the system of treatment of disease and disability using physical exercises. It is a vital rehabilitative service needed in a community and a therapeutic supplement of the medical profession, integral to the treatment of most patients.
