Therapeutic medicine refers to healing someone who is sick or hurt. Often it is contrasted with preventive medicine, which concentrates on preventing disease rather than healing it.
There is also physical therapy, which is a branch of medicine concerned with manipulation of the soft tissues of the body. It is performed by a physical therapist (P.T.) who has received detailed training in anatomy, physiology and pathology. Physical therapy can offer relief for the patient by alleviating the pains and symptoms of a particular ailment. It is also used extensively in rehabilitating a certain part of the body after surgery or an accident.
