Best Answer

Physical therapists mostly use basic arithmetic. At a minimum, a physical therapist needs to be able to count to 10, to determine if any fingers/toes/arms/legs on their patient are missing. They also need to add large numbers, in order to calculate the total dollar amount they should charge their patients for their sessions.
