I really want to become a phyiscal therapist when I get out of school but I do not have much time on the internet enough to really do research on it.
Does anyone know where I can get information by U.S. Mail? Like get someone to send me information?
If you do please put a link in your answer.

I could not find a website where you can get info by U.S. Mail. I just searched for a good 20 minutes. My advice is where you live at look up the surrounding colleges near you and call them or email them and tell them you are interested in becoming a physical Therapist if they could send you information about it through mail. I did stumble across some info you may be interested in….It’s not what you were trying to get but it says the Job description and education requirements…Good Luck
Job Description: Physical therapists (PTs) help patients, including accident victims and individuals with disabling conditions such as low-back pain, arthritis, heart disease, fractures, head injuries, and cerebral palsy, by providing services that restore function, improve mobility, relieve pain, and prevent or limit permanent physical disabilities. They restore, maintain, and promote overall fitness and health.
Education: In order to work as a physical therapist, one must first graduate from a physical therapist educational program with a master’s or doctoral degree. Then he or she must pass a licensure exam. Coursework includes biology, chemistry, and physics, as well as specialized courses such as biomechanics, neuroanatomy, human growth and development, manifestations of disease, examination techniques, and therapeutic procedures.
