Top 5 questions I’m asked about the physical therapy profession
How long do you have to go to school to become a physical therapist? Currently, physical therapy programs are doctoral programs. This results in about 7 years of college education. Programs are also very competitive and only select a limited number of applicants. What is the most common issue you treat? I have treated many different conditions from the head to the feet but the most common issue I’ve treated is spine conditions such as low back and neck pain.
