Physical Therapy Courses

Physical therapy courses can help you learn anatomy, biomechanics, patient assessment, and rehabilitation techniques. You can build skills in developing treatment plans, using therapeutic modalities, and enhancing patient mobility. Many courses introduce tools such as ultrasound machines, electrical stimulation devices, and exercise equipment, that support implementing effective treatment strategies and tracking patient progress.
