Physical therapists demonstrate movement all day, so durable, comfortable clothes and a handful of reliable tools matter. They also tend to skip their own recovery, which makes recovery gifts a good bet.
About our picks: Therapists are on the move all day, so a bottle they can sip from one-handed is a gift that actually gets used. The Owala is a popular insulated option.
