What is a Physical Therapist?

A Physical Therapist (PT), like Dr. Tiffany DPT, is a licensed healthcare professional specializing in movement and improving quality of life. They provide hands-on care, education, and exercise to prevent injuries, manage pain, and restore function after illness or surgery.
