| Physical medicine is the medical specialty for the treatment
of disease and injury by physical agents such as exercise, manipulation, or heat therapy.
The goal of physical medicine and rehabilitation involves the restoration of a diseased or
disabled person to optimal health. Treatment involves the whole person and addresses the
physical, emotional and social needs that must be satisfied to successfully restore the
patient's quality of life to its maximum potential. |
