"Physical memory" is exactly that, a total of available memory installed physically. (ie: RAM)
When your available memory approaches total memory, this means that you have resources free, it's not a bad thing. When your used memory approaches totalmemory, this means you are low on resources, time to buy more ram.

Hope that helps.
