Physical therapy (PT), also known
as physiotherapy, is one of the allied health professions that, by
using mechanical force and movements (bio-mechanics or kinesiology), manual therapy,
exercise therapy, and electrotherapy,
remediates impairments and promotes mobility and function. Physical therapy is
used to improve a patient's quality of life through examination, diagnosis,
prognosis, physical intervention, and patient education. It is performed
by physical therapists (known as physiotherapists in
many countries).
In
addition to clinical practice, other activities encompassed in the physical
therapy profession include research, education, consultation and
administration. Physical therapy services may be provided as primary care
treatment or alongside, or in conjunction with, other medical services.
Modern physical therapy was established towards
the end of the 19th century due to events that had an effect on a global scale,
which called for rapid advances in physical therapy. Soon following American
orthopedic surgeons began treating children with disabilities and began
employing women trained in physical education, and remedial exercise. These
treatments were applied and promoted further during the Polio outbreak of 1916.
During the First World War, women were recruited to work with and restore
physical function to injured soldiers, and the field of physical therapy was
institutionalized. In 1918 the term "Reconstruction Aide" was used to
refer to individuals practicing physical therapy.
Courese service.

rehabilitation professionals, awareness programmes for the functionaries of
government and non-government persons with disabilities and their relatives, etc
Educational criteria for physical therapy
providers vary from state to state and from country to country, and among
various levels of professional responsibility. Most U.S. states have physical therapy practice acts that recognize both physical therapists (PT) and
physical therapist assistants (PTA) and some jurisdictions also recognize
physical therapy technicians (PT Techs) or aides. Most countries have licensing
bodies that require physical therapists to be a member of before they can start
practicing as independent professionals
Canada.
Canadian physiotherapy programs are offered at
15 universities, often through the university's respective college of medicine.
Each of Canada's physical therapy schools has transitioned from 3-year Bachelor
of Science in Physical Therapy (BScPT) programs that required 2 years of
prerequisite university courses (5-year bachelor's degree) to 2-year Master's
of Physical Therapy (MPT) programs that require prerequisite bachelor's
degrees. The last Canadian university to follow suit was the University of
Manitoba which transitioned to the MPT program in 2012, making the MPT
credential the new entry to practice standard across Canada. Existing
practitioners with BScPT credentials are not required to upgrade their
qualifications.

Employment.
Physical therapy-related jobs in North America
have shown rapid growth in recent years, but employment rates and average wages
may vary significantly between different countries, states, provinces or
regions. A study from 2013 states that 56.4% of physical therapists were
globally satisfied with their jobs. Salary,
interest in work, and fulfillment in job are important predictors of job
satisfaction. In a Polish
study, job burnout among the physical therapists was manifested by increased
emotional exhaustion and decreased sense of personal achievement.Emotional exhaustion
is significantly higher among physical therapists working with adults and
employed in hospitals. Other factors that increased burnout include working in
a hospital setting and having seniority from 15 to 19 years
Specialty areas.
The body of knowledge of physical therapy is
large, and therefore physical therapists may specialize in a specific clinical
area. While there are many different types of physical therapy, the American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties lists nine current specialist certifications, the
ninth, Oncology, pending for its
first examination in 2019. Most Physical
Therapists practicing in a specialty will have undergone further training, such
as an accredited residency program, although individuals are currently able to
sit for their specialist examination after 2,000 hours of focused practice in
their respective specialty population, in addition to requirements set by each
respective specialty board
Geriatric.
Geriatric physical therapy covers a wide area
of issues concerning people as they go through normal adult aging but is
usually focused on the older adult. There are many conditions that affect many
people as they grow older and include but are not limited to the following: arthritis, osteoporosis, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, hip and joint replacement, balance disorders, incontinence, etc. Geriatric
physical therapists specialize in providing therapy for such conditions in
older adults
Integumentary physical therapy includes the treatment of
conditions involving the skin and all its related organs. Common conditions managed
include wounds and burns. Physical therapists may utilize surgical instruments,
wound irrigations, dressings and topical agents to remove the damaged or
contaminated tissue and promote tissue healing.[Other
commonly used interventions include exercise, edema control, splinting, and
compression garments. The work done by physical therapists in the integumentary
specialty do work similar to what would be done by medical doctors or nurses in
the emergency room or triage.
Neurological.
Neurological physical therapy is a field focused on working with
individuals who have a neurological disorder or disease. These
can include stroke,
chronic back pain, Alzheimer's disease, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT), ALS, brain injury, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, facial palsy and
spinal cord injury. Common impairments associated with neurologic conditions
include impairments of vision, balance, ambulation, activities of daily living, movement,
muscle strength and loss of functional independence. The
techniques involve in neurological physical therapy are wide-ranging and often
require specialized training.
Neurological
physiotherapy is also called neurophysiotherapy or neurological rehabilitation.
Orthopedic.
Orthopedic physical therapists diagnose, manage, and treat
disorders and injuries of the musculoskeletal system including
rehabilitation after orthopedic surgery. acute trauma such as
sprains, strains, injuries of insidious onset such as tendinopathy, bursitis
and deformities like scoliosis. This speciality of physical therapy is most often
found in the out-patient clinical setting. Orthopedic therapists are trained in
the treatment of post-operative orthopedic procedures, fractures, acute sports
injuries, arthritis, sprains, strains, back and neck pain, spinal conditions,
and amputations.
Joint
and spine mobilization/manipulation, dry needling (similar
to acupuncture),
therapeutic exercise, neuromuscular techniques, muscle reeducation,
hot/cold packs, and electrical muscle stimulation (e.g., cryotherapy, iontophoresis, electrotherapy)
are modalities employed to expedite recovery
in the orthopedic setting. Additionally, an emerging
adjunct to diagnosis and treatment is the use of sonography for
diagnosis and to guide treatments such as muscle retraining. Those
who have suffered injury or disease affecting the muscles, bones, ligaments, or
tendons will benefit from assessment by a physical therapist specialized in
orthopedics.
Pediatric.
Pediatric physical therapy assists in early
detection of health problems and uses a variety of modalities to provide
physical therapy for disorders in the pediatric population. These therapists
are specialized in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of infants,
children, and adolescents with a variety of congenital, developmental, neuromuscular,
skeletal, or acquired disorders/diseases. Treatments focus mainly on improving gross and fine motor skills, balance and coordination, strength and endurance as well as
cognitive and sensory processing/integration.
Physical therapists are closely involved in the care and
wellbeing of athletes including recreational, semi-professional (paid) and
professional (full-time employment) participants. This area of practice
encompasses athletic injury management under 5 main categories:
1.
acute care – assessment and diagnosis of an initial injury;
2.
treatment – application of specialist advice and techniques to
encourage healing;
3.
rehabilitation –
progressive management for full return to sport;
4.
prevention – identification and address of deficiencies known to
directly result in, or act as precursors to injury, such as movement assessment
5.
education – sharing of specialist knowledge to individual
athletes, teams or clubs to assist in prevention or management of injury
Physical
therapists who work for professional sport teams often have a specialized
sports certification issued through their national registering organisation.
Most Physical therapists who practice in a sporting environment are also active
in collaborative sports medicine programs too (See also: athletic
trainers
Women.
Women's health physical therapy mostly
addresses women's issues related to the female reproductive system, child
birth, and post-partum. These conditions include lymphedema, osteoporosis,
pelvic pain, prenatal and post-partum periods, and urinary incontinence. It
also addresses incontinence, pelvic pain, and other disorders associated with
pelvic floor dysfunction. Manual
physical therapy has been demonstrated in multiple studies to increase rates of
conception in women with infertility
Physiotherapy is scientifically proven to be one of the
most effective ways to treat and prevent pain and injury. It strengthens
muscles and improves function.
It
not only reduces or removes pain for a short time, but also reduces the risk
for future back-pain re-occurrence. Based on the particular diagnosis, varied
methods are practiced by physiotherapists to treat patients. They may follow
pain management program, which helps get rid of inflammation and swelling for
some.
Physical therapist–patient collaborative relationship.
A systematic review that included patients
with brain injury, musculoskeletal conditions, cardiac conditions, or multiple
pathologies found that the alliance between patient and therapist positively
correlates with treatment outcome. Outcomes includes: ability to perform
activities of daily living, manage pain, complete specific physical function
tasks, depression, global assessment of physical health, treatment adherence, and
treatment satisfaction.
Studies
have explored four themes that may influence patient–therapist interactions:
interpersonal and communication skills, practical skills, individualized
patient-centered care, and organizational and environmental factors. Physical
therapists need to be able to effectively communicate with their patients on a
variety of levels. Patients have varying levels of health literacy so
it is important for physical therapists to take that into account when
discussing the patient's ailments as well as planned treatment. Research has
shown that using communication tools tailored to the patient's health literacy
leads to improved engagement with their practitioner and their clinical care.
In addition, patients reported that shared decision-making will yield a
positive relationship Practical
skills such as the ability to educate patients about their conditions, and
professional expertise are perceived as valuable factors in patient care.
Patients value the ability of a clinician to provide clear and simple
explanations about their problems. Furthermore, patients value when physical
therapists possess excellent technical skills that improve the patient
effectively.
Environmental
factors such as the location, equipment used, and parking are less important to
the patient than the physical therapy clinical encounter itself.
Based
on the current understanding, the most important factors that contribute to the
patient–therapist interactions include that the physical therapist: spends an
adequate amount of time with the patient, possesses strong listening and
communication skills, treats the patient with respect, provides clear
explanations of the treatment, and allows the patient to be involved in the
treatment decisions.
