Generally not.
Usually fringe benefits of a physical therapist include: * paid vacations * sick leave * hospital and group insurance * retirement programs
If you mean, is it easier to perform the jobs of a physical therapist or a sports doctor, then the physical therapist will probably exert more muscles in the course of a day's work than a doctor would. Both have to carry liability insurance and the mental anguish associated with the need to have that insurance. It is easier and quicker to go to school to become a physical therapist than it is to become a licensed physician specializing in sports medicine. It is harder physically to be a physical therapist, but it is harder intellectually and educationally to be a physician- because you will have to go one of the MD (medical doctor), DC (chiropractor)or ND (naturopathic doctor)routes.
The best way to identify a physical therapist for rehabilitation is to get a referral from your primary care physician (your regular doctor). Your physician will know of physical therapists on your insurance. You can also look under sports therapy or massage for a physical therapist.
Well a message therapist uses messages to help you and a physical therapist uses physical exercises to help you.
If it involves manipulations (chiropractic) or anything that could cause an accident in a patient, then yes...to be safe. Many don't have insurance at all. It is best to do a little survey of the physical therapists in your area to determine what you should do.
can a physical therapist work with animals?
well now, that would be illegal wouldn't it? you can't because a massage therapist (which is a certification) does not equal a physical therapist (which is now a doctorate degree). so that would be considered fraud. how can you appeal fraud? you cant. it's called severe fines and/or jail time. good luck with that smartie!
To become a physical therapist assistant, you are required to have an associate degree in physical therapist assisting. Licencing requirements vary from state to state.
