Which of these are true regarding physical therapy? Check all of the boxes that apply.

Answer
A
Physical therapy is nearly identical to massage therapy.
B
It takes about six years of post-secondary schooling for most physical therapists.
C
Physical therapists only operate on small joints of the body, such as the hands and feet.
D
The treatments physical therapists offer can be similar to those offered by chiropractors and physiatrists.

Explanation

Most physical therapists earn a bachelor’s degree and then complete a doctoral program in physical therapy, which typically takes about six years of post-secondary education in total. Their treatments can overlap with approaches used by chiropractors and physiatrists. Physical therapy is broader than massage therapy, and physical therapists do not operate only on small joints; they treat movement and function throughout the body.
