A rehabilitation therapist, also known as a physical therapist, is an allied health professional who specializes in helping patients suffering from mobility problems due to injuries, illnesses, surgeries, strokes, or physical disabilities that affect function. They work with patients of all ages to help them improve movement, manage pain, and enhance their quality of life. Through therapeutic exercise, hands-on care, and patient education, rehabilitation therapists assist patients with learning to walk or using a limb again and regaining or maintaining their independence. Demand for all types of physical therapists continues to grow each year with employment expected to increase 18% by 2019.

Rehabilitation therapists may hold Basic Life Support (BLS), Certificate of Clinical Competence in Audiology (CCC-A) or Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech-Language Pathology (CCC-SLP), among others.
