"How to become a Physical Therapist

Wednesday, January 19, 2011

Awareness for Sports Safety and Conditioning is increasing, and it is beneficial to the team if someone is trained to provide the necessary advice. Thought of expanding your expertise in that field? You can try taking up courses or degree in being a physical therapist.

Physical therapy (or physiotherapy), often-abbreviated PT, is the art and science of physical care and rehabilitation. It is a primary care health profession, with physical therapists (or physiotherapists) providing services to individuals and populations to develop, maintain and restore maximum movement and functional ability throughout the lifespan. This includes providing services in circumstances where movement and function are threatened by aging, injury, disease or environmental factors. Functional movement is central to what it means to be healthy. - Wiki

Not to be confused with Fitness Trainer, a Physiotherapist aids in the rehabilitation and conditioning of an individual through sports science to provide health care, whilst the Fitness Trainer serves to improve the physique through wellness conditioning.
