physical therapists

Mobility restoration specialists

Physical therapists are healthcare professionals who treat injury, illness, or disability through movement and exercise rather than drugs or surgery.

They help patients recover mobility after accidents, manage chronic pain, and regain strength following operations: The physical therapist had me doing stretches twice a day.

Also called physiotherapists, especially in British English.
