Physical therapists may use massage to improve muscle condition; apply ice to reduce swelling or heat to relieve pain; and utilize therapeutic equipment. The treatment consists of many machines such as whirlpool baths, ultrasonic machines, and ultraviolet and infrared lamps. They teach patients how to do exercises with such equipment as pulleys and weights.The physical therapist job candidate should participate in accredited physical therapy programs which offer both master's degrees and doctorates in physical therapy. To be licensed, graduates of accredited programs must pass state examinations.
