Physical therapy is challenging—in a good way! It’s a fast-paced job where you enjoy an energetic environment. Every day there are new people to meet and new problems to solve. You will never be bored!
Job Security
Physical therapists are in great demand. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, job opportunities for physical therapists are expected to continue to grow at a much higher than average rate through 2016 and on.
