When you are going through school and training there can be quite a bit of lifting, especially when you are training in a hospital, geriatric or rehab setting. Some of these patients in these settings cannot move or transfer on their own and you need to lift or move them in order to deliver the physical therapy treatments. Once you are done with schooling, if you work in a setting where the patients are mobile then there is not as much lifting.
