Physical therapists interact with many other professionals, including physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, occupational therapists, social workers, speech therapists and dentists.
Physical therapists review a patient’s medical history and records including test results and imaging studies as part of the evaluation process. A physical assessment includes testing and measuring the patient’s strength, range of motion, balance and coordination, posture, muscle performance, respiration, cardiovascular fitness, and motor function. A plan of care is established along with the patient’s input to identify specific goals and functional outcomes and strives to meet those goals in an efficient, productive and cost effective manner.
