So what? Physical therapists treat a wide range of patients who differ by injury. Athletes may strain a muscle from a workout interval. An elderly person may need therapy to help his or her arthritis. A computer technician may need to recover from carpal tunnel just as a musician may need to release some stress or tension. With the right techniques and exercises, patients can quickly recover and move forward in their careers. http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=musicians&oe=UTF-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=0EghULz8CoTq0gHmpYH4Cg&biw=1277&bih=680&sei=0kghULMdyprRAb-CgbgE#q=orchestra&num=10&um=1&hl=en&client=safari&sa=X&rls=en&tbs=isz:m&tbm=isch&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&fp=87bfa9e97d2731a4&biw=1277&bih=273
