If you’ve ever been injured in an accident, obtained some sort of injury that required surgery or therapy, most likely you have spoken or met with a Physical Therapist. The job of a physical therapist is to evaluate the injury and help the patient come up with a plan that combines exercise, massage, and nerve stimulation to help heal and strengthen the injured location.
