Anyone who wants to take an active role in managing physical conditions limiting your function. The program will involve you doing simple exercises, recording them, and reporting your progress to your provider regularly.

Although there is information that the therapist is able to gain by using touch, therapists are also trained with other tools to help gather information. The core of what a therapist does is evaluate your movement. Movement evaluation can be done with patient-generated and/or therapist-initiated movement. In addition to evaluating your movement, your therapist also gains information about your condition by listening to you describe what you are experiencing and reviewing your medical history.
