What is a typical day for a physical therapist?

Physical therapists can work in:

• Hospitals

• Clinics

• Rehabilitation centers

• Schools

• Nursing homes

• Private practice

Physical therapists provide rehabilitation to patients who have experienced an injury or illness. They can work in a hospital, clinic, or private practice. Therapists diagnose and treat patients who have muscle and joint injuries, sports injuries, neurological problems, and other conditions that affect the body's ability to function properly.

The physical therapist must be a graduate of an accredited physical therapy program with a master's degree or doctorate in physical therapy. They must also pass the National Physical Therapy Examination and complete two years of supervised clinical experience.

The cost of becoming a physical therapist varies depending on the school, location, and degree. For example, an undergraduate degree in physical therapy will cost between $25,000 and $45,000 per year. The graduate degree can range from $25,000 to $70,000 per year.

Some schools offer financial aid or scholarship opportunities for students who qualify. Some grants are available for students who meet the eligibility criteria.
