Physical Therapy

I have decided to go into the career of Physical Therapy. I obtained a certificate as a Physical

Therapy technician in year nineteen-ninety seven from a program that had taken me two years

to complete in Phoenix, AZ. I have been in this profession for the last thirteen years.

I feel it would be beneficial to be a state license Physical Therapist for my job . I believe with

the knowledge that I know and will gain in the many years that I have to be in school and with

the hands on experience I will have while working at my current job. I hope to help people with

my expertise to get them to the physical state they can abstain to lead a normal life.

Physical therapy has always interested me knowing I could help people from all kinds of

injury's to help them strive get them to back to the life that they once had. Physical therapy

gives that extra push that someone needs to get better correctly. I hope to learn from this

assignment more than just the statics of how many years it takes for school and what the

percentage of Physical Therapist graduate per year and what the gross income is per year.

I hope I learn how important being a Physical Therapist is to the ailing people that will be

needing a Physical Therapist during their life. I am also hoping to learn more about the human

body and how it works.
