Hi Jasmine, I’m a new follower. :) I am super interested in being physical therapy because I love helping people and always was helped by some physical therapists when I used to play volleyball!

To begin becoming a PT, you should check out schools on the APTA’s website, and you should also find a PT in your area to shadow or work for. As an undergraduate, I majored in Psychology at Cornell with a minor in Communication. I wanted to be a journalist at the time, and didn’t even

Hey Jasmine! Thanks for creating such a helpful and wonderful site! I am also interested in becoming a physical therapist. I was wondering if you could share some of your opinions on the paperwork required as a physical therapist? Do you find it a time consuming hassle at your setting? How much time do you spend on it? Thanks in advance, and I hope everything is going great at your work!

The paper work is time consuming, but not too bad. Between breaks in my schedule and lunch, I am able to get it done easily. Sometimes, I have to stay for up to half an hour to finish it at the end of the day, but that’s just part of the job description. I am
