Types of Physical Therapy

Given the fact that physical therapy treats such a wide range of ailments and conditions, it would seem logical that there are many specialties within the area of physical therapy. The specialties are well known in the medical community, but not necessarily to the public. The most common physical therapies are orthopedic, geriatric, neurological, cardiovascular, pulmonary rehabilitation, and pediatric. The descriptions for each specialty will aid you in determining what specialty is most appropriate for you.
