My career summary chatbot will help all the people who want to become a physical therapist. I explain all the bases of the job like the salary, where we work, what are the risk and many more. I am very motivated to write it because I want to allow more people to discover this beautiful job.
Being a physical therapist require patience, good communication skills and compassion. We see many patients in a work day, so we have to like the interaction with different people. At work, we have to be an observer and ask many questions to be sure the patient progress at they own rhythm.
A physical therapist works with people who have an injury or a degenerative disease. The patient are limited of some of their movement in their bodies. So, we work with them to help to regain flexibility, mobility, strength and build the motivation to do it. Also, we do a treatment plan and an exercise plan for each patient for their own specific needs, goals, and challenges.
A physical therapist sees around ten patient a day. We do some evaluations, we do physical treatment on our patients, and we do documents of all treatments that we did. Also, we build exercise plan for the patient and see with him if it is adapted to is condition.
A physical therapist works in a hospital, a private office setting, in a community service center or in a long-term care center.
You have to go to a college to do the Natural Science program for 2 years or a technique in Physical Rehabilitation for 3 years. After that, you have to go to university to do a bachelor's degree combined with a master's degree in Physical Therapies for 5 years.
A physical therapist starts to $70 000 per year and the most experienced workers make up to 110 000 per year.
A physical therapist can do an additional training to learn more about a certain condition such as Parkinson's disease. We can also specialize in different categories such as pediatrics, orthopedics, neurology, geriatrics and in perinea rehabilitation.
Being a physical therapist is hard physically, and psychologically. We have to be careful physically because we are constantly up, and we do a lot of physical treatment. Also, we have to support the patient in all his frustration, and it is difficult to not taking that personally. In some case, we developed an attachment with the patient because you work with them constantly for several months. So, we have to be stable emotionally.
I don't think that physical therapists will be replaced by robots because we need to do physical treatment. Also, a robot cannot do a massage, manipulation and joint mobilizations like a human. I think some day the robot could do the plan exercise but not the treatment plan. So, I am not scared for my future career.
A physical therapist can retire at 55 years old but not under that.
