About physical therapists
Cleveland Clinic says people usually need physical therapy to manage symptoms of a health condition, like pain and stiffness in a specific body part, and that it's also common while rehabbing after an injury or surgery. It says that, like with any physical activity, you'll have a small injury risk, including aggravating an existing injury. For low back pain, the AAOS says exercising to restore motion and strength to the lower back can be very helpful in relieving pain.
