Why I became a Physical Therapist
Throughout my life, I’ve always had an interest in physical activity and fitness. This is largely due to having been a multisport athlete, as well as a huge sports fan. I also always knew that I wanted to pursue a career that involves working with and helping other people. Physical therapy is a perfect combination of these two areas. When it came time to apply to colleges and I was considering what I wanted to study, I decided to shadow for a few hours at a physical therapy clinic. I immediately loved it and I knew that this is the career for me.
What do you feel are the most important qualities in a physical therapist?
In order to deliver the best quality of care for our patients, I believe it is important for a physical therapist to be open-minded, patient, and passionate. Each of these qualities is key for understanding that each patient is unique and will require an individualized plan of care to help them achieve their goals.
