job description
Physical Therapists can help create miracles in the lives of the injured and aging. If you work with a professional football team, for example, you could help get an all-star running back back to running in touchdowns after knee surgery. Rehabilitation can be a long process, so Physical Therapists need a lot of patience and understanding. You’ll likely see patients several times a week for hands-on work to increase flexibility, strength and endurance. You can work your magic with people from 1 to 100 years old, in sports medicine, with performers and actors, and in conjunction with doctors in nearly any field.
