Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy in Other Specific Disabling Conditions

As treatment continues, physical therapists document progress, conduct periodic examinations and modify treatments when necessary. Such documentation is used to track the patient's progress and identify areas requiring more or less attention. Physical therapists often consult and practice with a variety of other professionals, including physicians, dentists, nurses, educators, social workers, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists and audiologists. Some PTs treat all physical disabilities, while others specialize in areas such as paediatrics, geriatrics, orthopaedics, sports medicine, neurology and cardiopulmonary physical therapy.
