Physical Therapist Job

Physical therapists can work in hospitals, outpatient care centers, or private clinics. Some therapist decide to visit patients at home. It is also possible to be a travelling physical therapist, who visits different locations across a country. “These jobs can be physically demanding, because therapists may have to stoop, kneel, crouch, lift, and stand for long periods of time” (Mangusan). It is sometimes also required for them to move heavy or large equipment and it may be necessary for them to help their clients stand or move. The average full-time physical therapist will work a 40 hour week with some working during the evening or on weekends as to accommodate their patients.
