Personal qualities and abilities need for success as a physical therapist?

Answer 1

To become a physical therapist, you would complete a bachelor's degree program at a university. To be a physical therapy tech, you could find a community college or technical school that would provide certification. The university degree is better. I know of 3 types of PT jobs: A physical therapist (PT), a physical therapist assistant (PTA), and a physical therapy technician. To be a PT, you would need to graduate with a bachelor's from a university and then attend physical therapy school which ranges from 2-3 years. A PTA is an associates degree (I believe). Both require you to obtain a license to practice by passing a licensure exam. I am a physical therapy tech, and was trained on the job. There are a few full time physical therapy techs at the clinic I work at, but most of us are college students working part time to get experience before applying to physical therapy school.

Answer 2

Physical Therapist (PTs) restore, maintain and promote the best possible physical health for their patients. They help prevent, identify, correct and alleviate short or long-term movement problems. An injured athlete, a senior citizen dealing with Arthritis, and a child with a developmental disability are all examples of people who might work with a physical therapist. Together, they tackle treatments such as movement exercises, strength training, stretching, and activities to promote mobility and function. With education from a physical therapist, a patient can continue their treatment program at home, at work, and during leisure activities.
