The primary objective of physical therapy is to promote optimum human health by improving movement and function, relieving pain and expanding mobility potential. Often medical conditions such as arthritis, chronic pain, stroke, surgery, stress and the natural aging process can result in loss of physical function. This loss of function may present to a client as decreased flexibility and strength or limited endurance. The practice of physical therapy can assist in regaining lost independence and restore participation in various daily activities.
The principles of physical therapy have been a part of the healing arts since the beginning of recorded time. The role of physical therapy in present day healthcare has become significant and essential in the concept of total patient care.
