    A physical therapist is a professional specialized in repairing and restoring the physical mobility of patients who have suffered some type of physical trauma. It uses various techniques, such as therapeutic exercises, massage, electrotherapy, and manipulative methods to relieve pain, improve mobility, and strengthen muscles. It is advisable to see a physiotherapist after an injury, surgery, accident or if chronic mobility and pain problems occur, to receive appropriate treatment that facilitates recovery and improves quality of life.
