How can a physical therapist or occupational therapist help me?

Physical therapists (PT), physical therapy assistants (PTA), occupational therapists (OT) and occupational therapy assistants (COTA) provide therapeutic treatment for people with various injuries and impairments.

Physical therapists and occupational therapists conduct a professional assessment of the patient and design a personal plan of care to allow patients to obtain their goals. Sports-specific training can decrease muscle pain and swelling and improve an athlete's performance.
