A Career As A Future Physical Therapist

The job I plan on pursuing with kinesiology as my major is to become a physical therapist, which is also known as PT. Their main duty is helping patients rehabilitate with disabling injuries such as fractures, arthritis and low-back pain.

Life can change in a split second when an unanticipated injury or disease hinders someone’s normal daily life. Modern medicine, physicians and families can only do so much but physical therapy can help recoup the life many of us take for granted. It often isn’t until we lose something that we as humans realize what we had such as the value of our body’s ability to take us through each day. A physical therapist is the person who stays with a patient for the duration of the rehabilitation process. A physical therapist leads the patient through the process of regaining physical strength and helps the patient regain control of their future. Much like many careers that involve interaction with individuals, physical therapy reaches beyond

The article that I chose was published by Mayo Clinic School of Health Science, the title of the article is “Physical Therapy”. The article informs the reader on the roles, goals, as well as the overall definition of a physical therapist. According to the article, “Physical therapists (PTs) work with patients who have impairments, limitations, disabilities, or changes in physical function and health status resulting from injury, disease or other causes.” Therefore, a physical therapist works directly with the population that has a form of impairment in their movement, whether it is from an injury or an illness. The roles of a physical therapist are examination, evaluation, diagnosis, prognosis

When considering the physical therapy career field, I concluded that my interests and skills are compatible with the career requirements in this field. My sisters friend whom I chose to interview for this paper, contributed to my interest in physical therapy. By doing this research I would like to learn the average pay for a physical therapist. Also, what are suggested classes for a physical therapist while in college? This research will help me better understand what a physical therapist does and will either help me lean towards or away from a career in this field.

When I became a freshman in high school, I met my Health Careers teacher, the school’s current athletic trainer and former physical therapist Erin Herrmann. After hearing my story, she recommended me to become a student athletic trainer the following year, which would give me plenty of practice in preparing myself to become a physical therapist.

There are various positions in a sports medicine team such as physicians, orthopedic surgeons, sports physical therapists, and certified athletic trainers. The position in the sports medicine team that I have chose to do research over is a Sports Physical Therapist. I have always been interested in this field and I hope to pursue it in the future. Currently, I work at a physical therapy clinic called Physical Therapy Central. By having this opportunity, I am able to see what it is like to be a Physical Therapist.

Having the ability to optimize the quality of life for clients is essential function of a physical therapist. In order to transform society, physical therapists need to exercise the best practical standard across all aspects of the field. To fully understand the structure and functions of the human body, one must acquire the necessary problem solving, critical thinking, and clinical decision-making skills required to successfully prevent injury and alleviate impairments. Upon acceptance into this program, I anticipate being taught the highest standards of patient care and professional excellence.

When you are first looking into a career, it is a smart idea to learn the benefits it will have to your life, and how well you will fit into the environment it places you in. Not everyone will be able to be a doctor, or work on the space shuttles at NASA, but everyone has something that would actually suit them best. After doing the research into the field, and having it done on me, I have decided the career of Physical Therapy is one I can tackle with passion and empathy. A Physical Therapist is often referred to as a PT, and is one who helps rehabilitate people of all ages who have functional problems from damage to body (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2015). There are many different uses and areas that a physical therapist works in. they could

Being a Physical Therapist has been one of my long-term goals since I was in High school. I came across physical therapy as a child when I would visit my cousin who acquired multiple therapies. Seeing how he improved throughout the years gave me great joy and was intrigued about the therapy aspect. If accepted into a DPT program, I will be committed and manage my time wisely for the program so that I know I will succeed in school and as well as a Therapist.

Majority of the people that I know around my age are still trying to figure out what career they want to follow. However, when it comes to choosing a career for myself, I already know what I want to be, which is become a physical therapist. I decided I wanted to be a physical therapist since I took a health prevention class my sophomore year in high school. Being a physical therapist was the first and only career that I have ever shown any interest in, other than being a firefighter as a kid. The future for physical therapists seems to be bright. The reason being is that many people play sports which means more injures. Also, everyone gets old so they will have aching body parts. In my eyes the future of being a physical therapist is very gratifying.

When I become older and much more qualified, I will a Physical Therapist. Being a Physical Therapist is my absolute career goal. I will provide the best care for my patents, and help them to get back to their way of life much easier. In order to get to this goal I will have to earn a degree, have over 80 hours of an internship, and then go on to graduate school to get my doctrine.

As a young athlete, running had always been a least favorite past-time for me. Unfortunately, every sport I played was dependent on that very physical act. Millions of suicide runs and lay-ups in basketball, and even more base runs in softball at least distracted me because I was running for a purpose. My short stint on the cross-country team demonstrated to me that I may have excelled at fast-twitch running, but long-distance running was not my forte, made clear by my omnipresent side stitches. My senior year of high school came and to my surprise, running would be the one thing I missed so dearly. My short time as a starting varsity player in basketball came to an end when I completely tore my left ACL. A host of changes came from just one incident.

I recently graduated with my associate degree at Palm Beach college.It has been 3 years since I graduated from Glades Central Community High school.At first,I was not really sure about what I'm going to study because I was not had a specific career I want to study.But right now,I really sure about what I'm going to study .My plan is to be a physical therapist and my present goal is to go for my bachelor degree.

I will aim for better mobility than they had prior to their injuries. I will push my patients to do their best to recover, but balance it with proper rest and minimization of pain. I’m a very determined and patient person. Lengthy recovery and slow progress may dishearten some, but I’m the type to be confident and strongminded to push through and get the job done. I will try my best to enhance the movement of every patient to improve their quality of life. I want my patients feeling like my grandmother did at the end of her recovery, independent and able to participate in anything they

In my navigation through life, I have narrowed down my career paths to two choices. The first choice being becoming a physical therapist, and the second choice being becoming a veterinarian. I would like to be a physical therapist because I am familiar with the type of work they do and enjoy helping people get back on the feet achieve their goal of recovery. I would like to specialize in helping athletes to recover as I myself know how important it is for athletes to recover quickly, and, more importantly, to receive the correct treatment to prevent a single injury that can be rehabilitated from becoming a life long issue. My overall goal would be to one day own my own practice. I also can see myself becoming a veterinarian to study and learn
