I just learned something recently (I think); that "PT" in the US is "physical" therapy, whereas in Canada PT is "physio" therapy. I now understand physical therapy to be like exercises, whereas physio therapy is more like a chiropractor manipulations, TENS, ultrasounds, etc, and done by a licensed therapist.

Could you please clarify what you are referring to?
