About Us
Physical therapists improve quality of life through hands-on care, patient education and prescribed movement and exercise. Physical therapists evaluate, diagnose and manage health conditions and movement problems in people of all ages.
They use the best available evidence to design treatment plans specific to each person’s needs, goals and abilities. They empower people to take an active role in their care to manage pain and other symptoms, improve and restore function, recover from and prevent injury and prevent or improve chronic conditions.
The WVU Physical Therapy program has a proud 50-year history of educating physical therapists for practice in WV and beyond.
