Evaluating Sources

I found an article titled, “Get Physical.” The author, Chris Hayhurst, argues that physical therapy can be considered a “perfect career.” He proves his point by saying there is never a dull moment in physical therapy (Hayhurst 1). From what I have learned, this is a very true statement. People are constantly in need of help. Because of this, physical therapists encounter new adventures on a daily basis. Throughout the article, Hayhurst explains a lot of what a physical therapist does. He says, “Physical therapists evaluate and treat problems and conditions that limit an individual's activities of daily living” (Hayhurst 1). This is the way many articles and websites distinguish the career of a physical therapist. He also describes that physical therapists constantly have a feeling of accomplishment with their work because they are always helping patients overcome their physical disabilities. (Hayhurst 1). I completely agree with this statement. As I am beginning to pursue this career, this is one of the aspects I am looking forward to the most. I love the feeling of helping someone.
