Most people think of physical therapy as rehabilitation. But many physical therapists want the profession to be seen as preventive medicine. Think of a physical therapist the way you do a dentist. You go regularly and get checked out even if you’re not having a problem. You could have an exam that would include your health history and current health — physical activity, sleep and nutrition. This would be followed by a look at how you’re moving. It might include things like postural alignment and movement patterns as you walk, run, reach, sit and stand. In terms of strength and flexibility — think muscle imbalances.
