= = Physical Therapist

I want to be a Physical Therapist. As Physical Therapist you make $25.00 to $40.00 dollars an hour. The annual range is $53,000 to $83,000 dollars. A Physical Therapist is pretty much a person that cares for a person who has been injured or ill. They try and help them get better so they can either play sports or just get better & healthier again. Mainly they help patients accomplish treatment plan and accept therapeutic devices by administering manual exercises instructing, encouraging, and assisting patients in performing physical activities, such as nonmanual exercises, ambulatory functional activities, and daily-living activities and in using assistive and supportive devices, such as crutches, canes, and prostheses.

Physical Therapist give treatments like massages, initiating traction; applying physical agents; utilizing hydrotherapy tanks and whirlpool baths, moist packs, ultraviolet and infrared lamps, and ultrasound machines; directing treatments given by aides, technicians, and assistants. Usually you go to a Physical Therapist if you have had surgery. To become a PT you must first master many different science competencies, including biomechanics, neuroscience, exercise physiology, and anatomy. Now the length of training for Physical Therapist is usually about 6 to 8 years. There is a lot of colleges you can go to to be a Physical Therapist. There is Baylor College of Medicine, Texas A&M University, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center in Elpaso, Lubbock, Fort Worth, San Antonio, and Galveston. There are so many colleges you can go to, so you can get the training for it. The top school for Physical Therapy is University of Southern California. Which is in Los Angeles, California. Winston-Salem University is the worst you could possibly go to to be a Physical Therapist. Being a physical therapist in my opinion is a privilege.

The reason I want to be a Physical Therapist is because I have always wanted to be one, and I have been to a lot of physical therapy & every time I go I fall in love with it more. Its just a job I have always wanted to do and I will pursue that dream one day!
