JOB DESCRIPTION: A physical therapist is a professional health-care practitioner who plans, monitors, and administers physical therapy for patients to restore bodily functions, relieve pain, and prevent disability due to disease, injury, or other disabilities. After physician referral, the therapist reviews and evaluates a patient’s medical record and often consults with the patient’s physician in determining treatment. A variety of methods are used by the therapist in treatment such as exercise, massage, or the application of electrical impulses or ultraviolet rays. Physical therapists work at hospitals, rehabilitation centers, nursing homes, home-health agencies, or in private practices.
