I wonder if the general public understands what physical therapists do. When I started at MDI Medical 4 years ago, I had only a basic understanding of rehab therapy; I couldn't explain the difference between physical and occupational therapy.
What a success story for Tiger Woods at the U.S. Open! To imagine playing with cartilage damage AND stress fractures AND winning the tournament - wow.
What I love even more is that physical therapists are mentioned in the national news. With such a shortage of students entering programs for physical therapists, the industry can use all the PR it can get.
How did you first learn about physical therapy jobs? What made you want to become a physical therapist?
