What would be the best classes in high school to take? I’m considering this as my career. I’m going to be a senior next year.
Is physical therapy a good field to go into? Good/bad points? Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks once again!

Physical Therapy (Physiotherapy in many English speaking countries) is a health care profession which provides services to individuals and populations to develop, maintain and restore maximum movement and functional ability throughout life. This includes providing services in circumstances where movement and function are threatened by aging, injury, disease or environmental factors. Functional movement is a central element in what it means to be healthy.
Universities offer undergraduate program of Physiotherapy (BPT) with four years of academic and clinical program and 6 months of compulsory internship. Minimum qualification required is 10+2. (12th class)
Later one can do masters in Physiotherapy (MPT) with 2 years duration.
Its scope is very good in India as well as abroad.

Im considering the same thing. A lot of people have told me that any field in the medical industry is good. take lots of sciences like the human anatiomy class, just sciences in general.

Physiotherapy is a course in which can be studied with sports science in college. Plus a masters digree as Harinder previously stated. Invludes an intense 2 years, as i have previously experienced. Yet the benefits are great once you have gained enough experience.
I now have my own sports physio company in England with 3 other staff.
Good luck, and please let me know how you develop.
