PROFESSIONAL PHILOSOPHY

With an increased rate of obesity and other health-related diseases in the United States, physical activity has never been more crucial.  Physical Therapists are health care professionals who diagnose and treat individuals of all ages who have medical problems and conditions that limit their ability to function throughout their daily lives. I believe a profession in Physical Therapy not only allows individuals to restore and maintain optimal physical function in patients, but promote an appreciation to living a healthier lifestyle. I believe that the desired outcome in physical therapy is not only to reduce pain, restore function, and prevent disability, but an implementation of healthier lifestyle choices to improve quality of life.
