What is Physical Therapy?

Physical therapy is beneficial to anyone healing from an injury. The term physical therapy is quite simply “the treatment of disease, injury, or disability by physical and mechanical means” which include remedies such as exercises, massages and heat treatment. (Merriam Webster) The most interesting part about physical therapy is the rehabilitation process and the road to recovery and treatments that aid the recovery.

Reason that I Chose Physical Therapy

The reason that I chose physical therapy and the reason that I am pursuing this career is because of my grandfather. Last year my grandfather suffered from stroke and also a blood clot. Physical therapist and other therapists tried their best in helping him even though none of them personal knew him. I found it remarkable that people dedicate so much time into helping a stranger.

Goals and Plans

My ultimate goal is to become a physical therapist so I can make a difference. I want to help put smiles on people who have lost their smile because of an injury. I plan on doing my absolute best in school so I achieve this. After graduating my plan is to move to Florida and possibly even open my own business as a physical therapist.
