Therapists are trained to work with a variety of injuries and illness. Physical therapists assist with an injury or illness working directly with patients to manage pain and improve movement. They can be employed by a hospital, a nursing home, or even set up a private practice or clinic and work with patients of any age.
As the population ages, there will be a growing need for physical therapists. Rehabilitation is a big part of the surgery process, especially if the surgery is for something such as hip replacement or knee replacement, shortening the recuperation time.
