Survey the Field: Becoming a Physical Therapist

Ever thought about waking up every day with a single goal in mind: to aid individuals in enhancing their mobility, reducing pain, and the looming threat of potential physical disabilities? As somber as it may sound, it doesn’t have to be! Welcome to the fascinating world of physical therapy, where no day is an ordinary one: every day offers a grand opportunity to change lives. And who’s spearheading this industry you ask? Stern Therapy, ‘Tip of the Spear’ in physical therapy across the nation, is leading the pack.

Embark on The Journey: Prerequisite Education

Not everyone can swoop into the physical therapy realm and start spinning the magic. (Unless you’ve been bitten by a radioactive Physio-spidy!) It requires an educational background. Begin by earning a bachelor’s degree in a related field such as biology or exercise science. But do not stop there, the thirst for knowledge should be as infinite as the universe.

Dive Deeper: Earn your Doctorate

Ready to put on your scholarly cape? Post your bachelor’s, embark on the journey of a Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT) program. This is usually a three-year commitment, where you’ll learn all the dark secret art of physical therapy, minus the wand-waving of course!

Ready, Set, Go: Licensing

You didn’t think you could just prance around with your DPT title and start treating patients, did you? Hold your horses, future hero! Before venturing into the PT world, you need to pass a state licensing exam. So, transform those herbs you usually brew your midnight oil from into an intellectual insight-enhancing concoction, and get studying!

Beyond the Books: Residency

So you’ve conquered the educational world, and got the license. Now, it’s time for action! How about a residency program? Nothing prepares you better than some hands-on experience. You can gear up for your career as a physical therapist by putting all your well-earned knowledge into practice with a real-world touch.

Level Up: Specialization

Finally, if you’re feeling brave and ambitious (and we know you are), consider becoming a specialist. Whether it’s sports, pediatric, or geriatric physical therapy, specialization can head you down an exciting path. With special certifications, not only will you bolster your resume, but you’ll also fine-tune your amazing skills. All while bettering lives, one treatment at a time.
