Physical Therapists test muscle strength, the amount of flexibility in joints, and the ability to walk or move. Treatments include exercises to increase strength, range of motion, endurance and coordination, the use of heat, cold, electricity or even aquatics to relieve pain and teaching exercises and body mechanics to avoid injury or regain function.
