Gain a general overview of physical therapy, including the statistically supported benefits of referring patients to physical therapy before any other treatment methods. Compare physical therapy to alternate treatment options, and identify patients who may be good candidates for physical therapy. Discuss the initial evaluation and treatment process during physical therapy.
