Communities at Work: Physical potential
This edition of Communities At Work focuses on professionals whose goal is to help clients reach their full potential for physical movement and rehabilitate their bodies after trauma or surgery. Physical therapists help people of all ages with issues and disorders in the musculoskeletal system and its role with physical movement. Physical therapists are licensed professionals with master’s or doctorate degrees in physical therapy, and must possess a profound understanding of bodily interactions. A disturbed nerve in the neck, for instance, can cause headaches and pain throughout the back and legs. A physical therapist must be able to evaluate the patient, diagnose the problem and implement an effective treatment. Here is a glimpse of some local physical therapists and assistants from Rehabilitation Services of Craig, Craig Physical Therapy and The Memorial Hospital Rehab Center.
