A physical therapist assists and educates the patient to regain strength, coordination, balance, and mobility skills. Regaining these skill helps prevent further disability or injury. A physical therapist also recommends appropriate equipment to enhance mobility and safety prior to the patient's return home. Each patients's program is designed for his or her special needs and goals.
