Why Physical Therapy

Five years ago I started having problems with chronic shin splints. I went to a local physical therapy office and they began therapy with me twice a week for four months. Then after each five of my knee injuries I have gone back to physical therapy to try and recover and gain my strength back. With that being said, somewhere in the last five year of being in and out of physical therapy my interest in becoming a physical therapist sparked. From there I have began talking to my physical therapist to learn as much as possible about what it take to be a physical therapist, what the job entails as well as I began taking sport medicine and athletic training course at my high school. I am a very active person and do not like sitting still which is why being a physical therapist is perfect for me since I can be active during the day rather than sitting a a desk.
