As I was starting to finish my personal interview with Bryan I realized how much dedication and

patience you need to be a Physical Therapist. As we talked more about what it takes to be a very caring

and sometimes aggressive professional to obtain the assertiveness that is needed to have the patients

understand that sometimes a little work will bring much relief and mobility.

B, Bryan (Physical Therapist) Interview by Shelley C. 25 March, 2010

This is my personal interview with a Physical Therapist that has been providing care to the Yavapai County area for the last seven years. Before conducting my interview, I thought about five questions that were important to me that I wanted to ask in my interview with him. These questions I ask will give me a descriptive look at what kind of person needs and wants to go into the Physical Therapy profession.

This source will be very helpful to me since it has a vast amount of information on what Physical Therapist jobs consist of from their roles of being a provider for musculoskeletal conditions and many other conditions that ail many people from early child age to adults into geriatric age. This book will also provide me general information on the code of ethics that a Physical Therapist should follow at all times of practice under their state license.
