Thanks Jasmine for the follow back! I’m also taking a nontraditional path (and also have a degree in psychology) AND also worked abroad before continuing my schooling. To see that someone else is doing something similar really motivates me. Thank you for creating this tumblr!
Your background sounds great. Thanks for reading!
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
Week 2 & some hip help!
My friend Paige has started a great blog with her friends about exercising and their workouts. Paige is currently blogging about training for her second marathon!

Good Luck!
Good luck to everyone taking a certain test this week! (And for those of you who are waiting on answers to your questions, they’ll be out soon!)
Hi(: new follower ! So I’m going on my last year of prePT and today the physical therapist I shadow mentioned organic chemistry being a pre req. and I haven’t seen any school but one that had mentioned organic and bio Chem. any thoughts on that? Is that a thing I am unaware of? Also good job and you’re amazing! I’m your new biggest fan
Thanks! The therapist you’re shadowing probably went to one of the handful of schools that requires orgo, but most don’t. I never took it and neither did most of my classmates (same with bio chem). Double check the pre-reqs with each school to which you’re applying, but don’t worry about orgo!
@ladygaga on Instagram: “Up early for hip exercise! I have to do these everyday to keep my hip strong, otherwise I have pain. ( fyi I’m not really that thin it’s…”
I love this picture because even Lady Gaga (who had hip surgery back in 2013) has to do her PT exercises! She seems to be bridging to help keep her gluteus maximi strong since it helps control backward hip motion. The red Theraband also incorporates her gluteus minimi, which further help control the hip’s side-to-side
Congratulations on your first job as a physical therapist! I saw that you said it was the site of your third clinical and I was wondering if you don’t mind saying which clinic that is and why you chose it as a clinical setting. The reason I ask is because I want to get a head start on which clinical affiliations to choose. I am in the new york city area and so far I am not particular with a specific demographic or specialty. Were there settings that were desired more than others in your program?
There are thousands of clinics, and I recommend finding one that you think will fit you well rather than one that you happen to hear about. I am in outpatient ortho in upstate New York, and overall, ortho was probably the most popular at my school. However, there are also lots of ortho clinics so
