Our user asked: "I was just wondering what exactly is physical therapy?"

Ask a PT Response: "The American Physical Therapy Association defines physical therapy as: "clinical applications in the restoration, maintenance, and promotion of optimal physical function." Physical therapists can help improve or restore the mobility you need to move forward with your life. If you are looking for a possible alternative to surgery and/or pain medication, consider a physical therapist.

Physical therapy helps you relieve physical pain and restore your body functions. A good physical therapy treatment helps you get rid of lower and upper back pain.
