Physical therapists can fit into all parts of the spectrum, including emerging athletes or high-end athletes.

“It sounds simple getting up from a lying position on the floor to stand,” Herr said. “But it’s a great exercise for all age groups.” Earhart said she sees patients for “prehab” for weight-loss surgery.
