[midnightviper305]

Im in an academy where I am studying to be a pt , hopefully this is the right choice

[sum1outder09]

since this is such a physical job i wouldnt think it a practical job when im like 50 with body pains and such so how would u deal with that? what would you be doing in 30 years or so?

[Zanthios]

=)

[OpenRain1]

[xKINGkhanSRKx]

ive wanted to become a chiropractor, but in a video I saw a guy cracking a patients neck and found it discusting. Now im thinking of switching to a physiotherapist, will this job require me to crack people's joints and stuff?

[Zanthios]

[Lavenda44]

Is there anyone who can tell me how many hours a day PT's work?

And do they have weekends off? Vacation time?

[Fisioterapia07]

@Lavenda44 Look, if your going to work at the hospital or clinic may 10 hour

but if you hava an idea.. like your own Clinic... depence of you

[metriks07]

Very informative video.

Metriks' FCE software allows the healthcare professional to objectively quantify and report on a person's functional abilities.

[chaozcontrol]

[lifeisfun000002]

I just finished my second round of physical therapy as a patient and seeing how much fun both of my therapists had and seeing what they get to do all day got me really interested in being a physical therapist I am 15 and I have been researching what you need to do to become a physical therapist and I am taking the class it says is necessary in high school I love learning about how the body works and seeing people become better.I was going to physical therapy because I had knee surgery Iheartgreg

[NorCalWrestler]

I am currently working on a Health and Rehabilitation Sciences with an emphasis on Physical Therapy undergraduate degree and will be applying to Physical Therapy school next year and am very excited, I am applying to Fresno State, Cal State Northridge, Cal State Long Beach, University of Oklahoma and University of Nebraska Medical Center

[kawaiinitz31]

Im studying physical therapy right now, but I have plan to go to a medical school and become a doctor, but if ever I fail, its still ok cause I can be Physical therapist :)

[katiecheerlove]

Im 15 and a student trainer for my high school. Whats better trainer or p.t.?

[finalfuu]

silly question but is a Physical Therapist the same as a Physical Therapist assistant?

[natalienightowl]

@finalfuu

No. A Physical Therapist requires a masters degree or a doctorate degree after completion of a 4 year undergraduate degree. Whereas a Physical Therapy assistant only requires a 2 year associate degree from a community college. The PTA helps out the PT when the PT needs an extra hand.

[finalfuu]

@natalienightowl ok thanks :D

[gozes189]

@finalfuu no. a pta only has an AA degree.

[revenga7]

Im almost gonna graduate high school ... and that's the career i wanna do ... i find it really interesting and i already job shadowed a phsyical therapist and that got me more into it :)

[ashleybaby32]

hey, quick question...how did you job shadow? Because I've been wanting to do that so I can learn more about this career but I don't know how

[zexion8890]

your going to study for 5 years just to learn how to massage?

[nonabelles]

@zexion8890 FYI, its more than massaging sir. yes, massaging is may be part of it but physical therapy is quite self explanatory. its restoring one's physical capabilities. and its human bodies that we handle here, just like doctors and whathaveyou. we handle effin muscles and bones of HUMANS. so when you get admitted in a hospital and need a PT, don't come crying for one. nothing's wrong with massaging just to help a patient though. hope you realize that sir.

[revenga7]

not just massaging ... more than that !

[Ninety9Soulz]

I'm 19 and am going to become a Physical Therapist!

[TheShoe1990]

I'm 19 as well & I am also going to be a Physical Therapist! i started my first real PT class this semester at AASU & i'm loving it so much!

[bklyn390]

@Ninety9Soulz im 20 and im going to be one to lol. i just did 2 yrs doing game nd web but it didnt work out. im a var active person though and i always liked helping people but thought i would never be able to make it with so much years of school but i just got accepted to Oswego and will start my major in PT!!!!

[swag4Mo]

@Ninety9Soulz Hell yeah. He already explained the pros and cons so I'm not going to repeat but the money is also good.

[Dominique913]

@Ninety9Soulz Hey me too!

[XxCoDFatherx]

@Ninety9Soulz hey man if you can can you give me some info about it like what grades do i need in highschool and any other info thanks man

[Ninety9Soulz]

@XxCoDFatherx Well my priorities have changed since, I'm joining the AF to be Security Police, but I may still take up Physical therapy later on.

Definitely pay attention in health, science, math, chemistry and physics type courses. Those are the courses I would definitely recommend in college too. Business and financing is good too.

[DBOYADVENTURES]

@Ninety9Soulz same here dude !!!!!!!

[gayapis]

we can be a physiotherapy..i hope i can....

[mamihlapinatapeii]
