What are you needing to know? Why, or if, it is beneficial? How often should pt engage in therapy?\n\nThe generic answer is that this type of therapy is particularly good for pts who have weight bearing issues- muscles can be strengthening by aquatic therapy without putting any actual wt on the joint- water resistance does the work. Any type of exercise that strengthens any of the muscles that help support and keep knee joint in proper alignment help decrease any pain or inflammation sxs that arise because of those conditions. How often? Depends on the severity of pts condition and how much time/money they can invest in this type of tx.

Physical therapists CAN be doctors. However, their doctorate (or PHD) is in physical therapy, not medicine.\n\nThe same is true for pharmacists, by the way.

There are a very wide variety of treatment techniques employed by Physical Therapist (physiotherapist is synonymous with physical therapist, term used depends where you are).  Some PT's such as myself are very hands-on, manual therapy and exercise oriented while others are more passive and tend to use a lot of modalities such as heat, electrical stimulation, etc.  It isn't that I don't use those things but it is not the primary way I care for a patient.\nThere are hundreds of different treatments for the shoulders.  The ones chosen depends on the PT and your presentation.  Every patient is different so one treatment for a patient that has shoulder problems may be totally different from another with should problems.  \nWhen you go see a PT they should do a full examination (such things as testing strength, range of motion, flexibility, joint mobility, soft tissue mobility, assessment of posture and walking mechanics, assessment of your daily activities, etc - these are just some examples of the components of an examination).  They will then go over their findings with you and tell you how they are going to address them and may give you some examples of treatments that they are going to do.  I hope this helps and please feel free to ask if you have anymore questions.

A PT is trained in the treatment and rehabilitation of many different patient populations (geriatrics, neuromuscular, musculoskeletal, burn therapy, pediatrics, etc.). PT is a medical specialty, and physical therapists are licensed and work with medical doctors orders for treatment protocols.\n\nAn Athletic trainer specializes in the prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of athletic injuries. \n\nCheck out this description of the athletic treatment team, including a discussion of these two practitioners:\nhttp://www.athleteproject.com/members/medteam.htm\n\nHere is the athletic trainers professional group website: http://www.nata.org \n\nHere is the physical therapy professional organization webpage: http://www.apta.org//AM/Template.cfm?Section=Home

You can major in whatever. Your in luck: the "whatever" major is offered at every single college anywhere. I hear PT is a lotta fun but don't get into it unless you really enjoy science, studying a lot during school, and working with people with diabilities.
