Physical Therapy Programs

Getting people back to living a healthy and pain-free lifestyle is more than just a goal. For more than 140,000 Physical Therapists, it is a rewarding and challenging career and can be for you, too! As a Physical Therapist, you should have strong interpersonal skills in order to educate patients about their physical therapy treatments and possess compassion in your desire to help.

A Physical Therapist provides services that help restore function, improve mobility, relieve pain, and prevent or limit permanent physical disabilities of patients suffering from injuries or disease. Additionally, therapists restore, maintain, and promote overall fitness and health. Typical patients include accident victims and individuals with disabling conditions such as low-back pain, arthritis, heart disease, fractures, and head injuries.

Treatment often includes exercise for patients who have been immobilized and lack flexibility, strength, or endurance. Your goal as a Physical Therapist is to encourage patients to use their own muscles to increase their flexibility and range of motion and ultimately, improve function at work and home.

All States require Physical Therapists to pass a licensure exam before they can practice, after graduating from an accredited physical therapist educational program. Programs start with basic science courses, then introduce specialized courses in biomechanics and anatomy, and finally examination techniques, therapeutic procedures, and supervised clinical experience.

The job outlook for Physical Therapists is excellent considering the fact that future medical developments coupled with widespread interest in health will increase demand for physical therapy services. So don't delay! You will feel challenged by all aspects of your new career and limitless opportunities. And best of all, you will be helping individuals get back to daily living.
