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. Since this position requires physical interaction with patients, Physical therapists are highly connected with patients and build stronger patient relationships than most other health sciences specialists. Often, physical therapy patients are dealing with pain, so sensitivity is important. Equally important is giving patients the drive and support they need to work hard and regain their health.
