A Well qualified Physical Therapy Expert Witness was retained on a case where a patient slipped and fell after aqua therapy and allegedly was not properly attended  after the fall.

Physical therapy, also known as physiotherapy, includes exercises, massages and treatments based on physical stimuli, e.g., heat, cold, electrical currents, or ultrasound. The aim of physical therapy is to relieve pain, help patients move better or strengthen their weakened muscles. Another important goal is to demonstrate to patients what they can do themselves to improve their own health. Physical therapy can be done in a practice or hospital: patients can continue doing it at home as well. Physical therapy is a medical treatment used to restore functional movements, such as standing, walking, and moving different body parts. Physical therapy can be an effective treatment for medical conditions or injuries resulting in pain, movement dysfunction, or limited mobility. Physical therapy uses a combination of techniques to relieve pain and boost coordination, strength, endurance, flexibility, and range of motion. Physical therapists (PTs) often ask patients to use exercise equipment like bikes and treadmills. Physical therapists can also diagnose injuries. They use a variety of tests to assess pain, range of motion, and muscle strength. They then use this information to diagnose the injury and develop a treatment plan. The advantages of Physical Therapy over surgery are decreased pain, increased strength and mobility and less risk of complications than surgery. It also teaches you how to change habits and strengthen the body to prevent similar injuries in the future.

Physical therapy may help ease arthritis symptoms, reduce the need for pain medication, and even delay or negate the need for surgery. Physical therapy for arthritis may include exercises to improve joint mobility and tips on posture and movement that can help a person work around pain and avoid injuries.
