Today's post is a reflection on what I have learned so far within Physical Therapy. Where do I start? Physical Therapy comes in many different forms and styles for different people. The main types of Physical Therapy are Neurological Therapy, Orthopedic Therapy,Geriatric Therapy, and Pediatric Therapy. Physical Therapy in general is not for any certain age group or for any certain types of injuries. It ranges any where from sports injuries to promoting better posture. Physical Therapy is a growing field and it will continue to grow with the years coming. One of the biggest thing I have learned about what it means to be a Physical Therapist is that the patient comes first, no matter what. With new technology you can use the Microsoft "Kinect" and go through Physical Therapy in your home. One big thing that I have learned is that Physical Therapy is always changing and there are always new ways and strategies to complete ones goals.
It's interesting how many forms of physical therapy there actually are. What area would you like to specialize in?
