Physical Therapy is the therapeutic use of exercise, massage, heat, sound, and electrical stimulation to relieve pain, develop or restore function, and maintain maximum performance.
Physical Therapy prioritizes treatment based on Military Health Services Systems guidelines. Routine and acute care is available for active duty and beneficiaries enrolled in TRICARE PRIME.
