What Are the Benefits of Physical Therapy?Physical therapy (PT) is a non-invasive, evidence-based healthcare practice that relieves pain, improves mobility, and restores function through customized exercise programs, manual therapy, and patient education. Treatments are used to rehabilitate injuries, manage chronic conditions, or recover from surgery, typically lasting 30-60 minutes. Common techniques include manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, dry needling, and, when necessary, cold or heat therapy.
