Being a physical therapist gives some great feelings when it comes to seeing all the amelioration our patient made. It is full of satisfaction. Every day, you help injured people getting better, and by helping them you make them happier. Don't you think make people happier and healthier good reasons to go to work every morning? It is a good personal achievement, and it procured joy.
Physical therapists assist people with different physical disorders and injuries due to accidents or sports. They help people becoming better, stronger and tough on a physical plan. They are doing some muscle massages and making you work the articulations and muscles that aren'T strong enough or that been injured. Physical therapists will give you some physical exercises to do at home between two sessions.
Every day, physical therapists go to their work. They received multiple clients that needs to be healed. They talk with the client to find out if they see some evolution with their injury and if the exercises help. Then, they massage the injured region, they make them force and work their injured members.
Physical Therapists could work in rehabilitation clinics, in hospital, in home care programs, in community health centers and in schools, They could even work at a workplace, and in various private clinic. Physical therapists could work nearly everywhere.
To become a physical therapist, it is possible to do a physiotherapy technique in some CEGEP. This technique lasts for 3 years, approximately. After, it is also possible to continue at a university and do a bachelor's-master's degree in physiotherapy. Be careful, it is not all CEGEP and all University that offers these programs.
In Quebec, the average annual salary is approximately $66,000. Hourly wages vary between $35 / hour and $60 / hour depending on location and the experience you have.
As I said before, you can continue your studies at a University by making a bachelor's-master's degree in physiotherapy. It's as you wish.
A lot of physicals therapists are unsatisfied by there career and make a burnout. Maybe, if they don't have a good posture when they heal others, they injured themselves by trying to help others.
I personally, thinks that robots can't heal others by massaging them. But, this is my opinion. It is just that I can't imagine robots doing this.
The retirement age depends on each person and the salary they get.The majority will retire after the fiftieth, some after sixty. It really depends on each person. Maybe, they can, but don't want to stop working.
In conclusion, physical therapists always help others, it is their job. Personally, I hadn't start my studies yet, but I try my best to get accepted in the technique at Montmorency College. My goal is to continue my studies at University to have superior studies and maybe increase my competence and have a bigger salary.
