Why did you become a therapist?

I became a physical therapist because I wanted to help people. In high school I spent a large amount of time in a local physical therapy clinic doing observation hours, rehabbing from personal sport related injuries, and helping family members recover from various injuries and surgeries. I loved spending time with the physical therapists and loved getting to see both myself and my family members improve throughout their time in physical therapy.
