hysical therapists work with people who have been injured. They improve
mobility, relieve pain and prevent or limit permanent physical disabilities.
To relieve pain and treat injuries, physical therapists use massages, electrical
stimulation, hot and cold packs and traction. The sports world depends on
physical therapists to help athletes who are injured during practices, exercise
sessions or games. Some injuries require surgery, but many can be treated by rest
followed by proper exercise. Physical therapists often travel with teams.
