Practice and Defining the Roles of Physical Therapists

James Cain

Physical therapy is services provided by physical therapists to individuals and populations to develop maintain and restore maximum movement and functional ability throughout the lifespan. The service is provided in circumstances where movement and function are threatened by ageing, injury, pain, diseases, disorders, conditions and/or environmental factors and with the understanding that functional movement is central to what it means to be healthy.
