Video

While looking at various physical therapy websites, I recently came upon a really interesting and informing video about physical therapy. The link is below:

I thought this video did a very good job displaying what a physical therapist does on a regular basis. The video also showed some examples of people recovering from injury. It explained that they have patients ranging from Iraq soldiers to cancer rehab patients. I learned that if you are a physical therapist you are a motivator and coach, and it is your job to help them recover. One man in the video talked about how they are trying to make the recoveries more fun for patients so that the patients want to complete the exercises. I realized that as a physical therapist, you have to love working with people and really care about others' well-being. The most rewarding aspect of being a physical therapist is that you get to make a difference in someone's life everyday.
