@crystal.ortho.pt: This video is for all of the people who are considering becoming a physical therapist… Here are the three traits that you NEED to have in order to be a successful PT! I’m curious to hear from my fellow physical therapist if they agree with these things or have anything else to add for people who are interested in the field of physical therapy for a career path. #physicaltherapy #physicaltherapists #tiktokencyclopediacontest #doctorofphysicaltherapy ##physicaltherapyschool
So uhh.. I'm a high school freshman trying to figure things out. In my perspective of what my parents see and think im fit for this career, when people talk about their problems, I automatically think about how to comfort them or find solutions (Not sure if this is related) And always help some of my elders since they have athritis and other diseases. And honestly, I love learning about anatomy, but I loose motivation and sometimes get distracted while studying (I have short attention span and i wanna upgrade it..) My parents say it's good to know this stuff ahead of time, so I'm not sure if I should be a Physical Therapist, OT, or a Respiratory therapist. And I'm worried I won't succeed in in this field because of these habits, but I really want to be a PT, even with social anxiety. I badly need advice knowing your also licensed. (Im sorry if this was soo long 😭)

The worst is when you meet a PT who is beyond help with their empathetic skills

I’m an OT. I had a student come in to shadow me one day. When she left I asked if she had a questions. She said no I don’t think so. I mean you really have to like think a lot for this job. I have never prayed so hard someone didn’t go into the field in all my life 🤦🏼♀️

Agree. Plus if you are an introvert really analyze your ability to be interacting with people all day. There are many who can do it but I see so many posts about people who burn out very quickly because of it.
