 Physical therapists have a larger role to play in improving the mental health of an individual than regular exercise.  Therapists determine the baseline health, fitness level of the patient and then set specific health goals to achieve in the area. It is the physical therapist’s job to determine the kind of exercises to allow the individual based on the testing and wellness report of the individual. The therapists should keep in touch with the fitness professional or the personal trainer of the individual in order to only specify exercises that do not result in any kind of deficit. Any kind of impairment due to the exercise will result in the adversity of mobility instead of improvement. Any medications required to speed up the response of the body are also part of the therapist’s job.

For physical therapy to have a positive impact on mental health, it is imperative for the therapist to understand the current conditions of the body and specify accurate exercises or massages to trigger the right response.
