Many definitions of “physical therapy” exist.

“The treatment of physical dysfunction or injury by the use of therapeutic exercise and the application of modalities, intended to restore or facilitate normal function or development. Also called physiotherapy. “ - The Free Dictionary

“The Model Definition of Physical Therapy adopted by the American Physical Therapy Association, states that physical therapy includes: Examining individuals with impairment, functional limitation, and disability or other health related conditions in order to determine a diagnosis, prognosis, and intervention. Alleviating impairment and functional limitation by designing, implementing, and modifying therapeutic interventions. Preventing injury, impairment, functional limitation, and disability, including the promotion and maintenance of fitness, health, and quality of life in people of all ages. Engaging in consultation, education, and research.” - East Kentucky Physical Therapy & Sports Clinic

A useful definition of physical therapy is: “The treatment of disease by physical and mechanical means (such as massage, regulated exercise, water, light, heat, and electricity).” - Merriam-Webster Dictionary

“Physical therapy: A branch of rehabilitative health that uses specially designed exercises and equipment to help patients regain or improve their physical abilities. Physical therapists work with many types of patients, from infants born with musculoskeletal birth defects, to adults suffering from sciatica or the after- effects of injury, to elderly post-stroke patients.” - Word IQ

What all these definitions have in common is the underlying goal of helping people improve and restore functionality after illness, injury or neglect. Dynamic Rehabilitation Services is dedicated to this goal.
