program?
I just want to know whether or not I can go to one school, get a 4 year degree and then go to another and enter the physical therapist program and be totally fine?
At first I wanted to be a massage therapist or a chiropractor but changed to Physical therapy. i want to help people, not work in a nursing home, probably children or teenagers maybe adults but not elderly. I want to help people be able to do the things they cant any more. Please help me come up with a good career. Im already in college in my second year so please help!!!
My name is Taylor and im a college soccer player and i’ve been hurt with a groin problem since November 4th 2007. Recently ive been assigned by a doctor to go to physical therapy about a groin issue which no doctor can really find, ive been through 2 mri’s, ct, and xray. But with all exams negative and me sitting out of soccer for over a year i’ve researched over and over on the internet and ive done some self evaluating and seemed to locate the pain in my left adductor with pain in left testicle and left lower adomenal/scrotum. The pain all started when i was running hills and overexerted myself and ended up vomiting. The next day i had significant pain and could hardly sleep at nights cause of the dull aching pain.No doctor or surgeon seems to really listen to me really about what i have to say which is understandable after the extensive years of school they’ve been through. Once the injury happened i went to my school clinic and they immediately labeled me as having a sports hernia and sent me to surgeon and such, surgeons would just do the cough method on me and say i just have a strained groin and give it time. I believed them and gave it time and after about 7 straight months of resting just a “strained abdomimen” and still feeling the same pain while coughing, and sudden movements actually probably even worse since my groin seemed to be tighter because i hadn’t exercised, (besides the bike or olypitcal at low speed to stay in somewhat decent shape.)I decided to just start exercising running playing soccer every now and then, and i could feel my groin, the pain was there but once it got loose it felt okay but mid way through it’d start to get bad, especially after and was sensitive and sore for a couple days, but since the numberous doctors and surgeons turned my away i didn’t have much to lose. I eventually stopped cause i couldn’t take the aching pain,however it still has never went away even when im not exercising for an exenstive period of time.Anyhow i was assigned 4 weeks of therapy 3 days a week and i was told if my groin problem didn’t get any better from physical therapy (which it hasn’t, and im in my last week of therapy) then they are going to perform surgery where they are going to go in and just search for the problem and hope they find it and can fix it supposebly. Im a big sports fan so i’ve known about you from hearing about athletes needing sports hernia surgery. From what i noticed not many doctors believe in a sports hernia so they don’t even really give it any chance. Anyhow i thought i would send you an email and see what you had to say about it, it’s probably hard to make evaluations over the internet so i understand,sorry this is all crammed together and thank you for time, i just am interested in what you think about the situation.Thank you again.
So back in May of 2008, I was bouldering (rock climbing without a harness on a low wall) and I fell fifteen feet, caught my arm on a hold and dislocated my elbow. X-rays in the ER revealed that I had fractured a piece of my ulna off the tip of the bone and it was floating around in my joint (the reduction went just as planned, however). They were somewhat worried and referred me to an orthopedic surgeon where a CT scan revealed I had nothing to worry about.
I went through about six weeks of physical therapy and regained full range of motion back. No pain, and everything was great until about two days ago.
I was laying on the couch watching a movie and got up when I was done. I found that I couldn’t straighten my arm all the way and it was just as painful as when I first began to move my arm after it was immobilized for five weeks. It scared me, but after a couple minutes it went away and I pushed it out of my head as I had just laid on it wrong.
However, that night it did the same thing once more, and yesterday did it more than dozen times. I would get the same thing however, it would go away and my arm would just be left sore but not necessarily hurting like it had.
Is there a possibility that the bone fragment could be coming back and impairing my range of motion? Or is this just what arthritis feels like (like they had warned me I would get)? (I’m only seventeen) Is it just my tendons being stiff, I guess? And should I get this checked out by my orthopedic surgeon?
what the heck, that is very competitive. i haven’t been back to college in four years and i was looking at becoming a physical therapist assistant but how the heck am i supposed to get in with those odds. any physical therapist assistants here?? how did you get in with such a competitive field. i am looking at schools in illinois by the way.
what is the best way to change attorneys after a year of him handling my accident case. he tells me that he is going after everyone but i really don’t see him doing much of anything he still doesnt have my med reports from the surgeries i am out of a job and on disability because of the surgeries and i still need to go to physical therapy and pain management but i will be out of medical insurance on 12/31/06.
I have intentions of becoming a physical therapist and I just want to get started on volunteering or even working as an assistant.
How To Become A Physical Therapist After Going To A 2 Year Program For Physical Therapy Assistance?
Dec 28
I start taking a Physical Therapy Assistance program Aug. 18th at my local community college and was wondering what all I would have to do to become an actual Physical Therapist AFTER doing the 2 year program? Will I just have to transfer to a 4 year college after taking the program, or is there much more to it than that?
After finishing up high school, I decided to go to school to become a physical therapist. Does a physical therapist make more than a nurse? Can a physical therapist make up to 100,000 in one year? If so what is the highest degree one can earn in becoming a physical therapist?
