Three Reasons We Love Being Physical Therapists

We love working with our patients and helping them over come crippling pain to regain mobility and range of motion. But we also love the more practical aspects of our jobs. Here are our top three reasons to look into a career in physical therapy!

1. Growing Demand – The demand for physical therapists is growing as the nation ages and live longer. Baby boomers and weekend warriors want to stay active longer and physical therapists play a large role in helping aging individuals stay mobile! Increasing need also makes physical therapy a stable profession.
2. Flexibility and Choice – Physical therapy is a huge field, which offers tons of flexibility in the specialties and subspecialties available to you. Physical therapy positions are also flexible hours and locations – you can work for a hospital, a home health organization, a private company, or as a self-employed “renter” in a private clinic. The variety is unparalleled.
3. Freedom from a Desk – PTs do have paperwork, but for the majority of their day they are moving with their patients – helping them walk and stretch or showing them the proper way to do their therapy exercises. Work as a physical therapist certainly not for a sedentary person.
