This is such a heartwarming video to watch. Being a physical therapist lets you experience significant and rewarding moments with the people you assist in your job.

She's perfect for this job, she's so great with kids!

I don't have a problem with children, I love them. I just feel like I'd burst into tears seeing a child struggle.

I saw this video two years ago when I was uninspired and looking for a new career path. I just started PT School and I’m so incredibly happy. Thank you 💕😊

As an aspiring PTA who's currently in school this brought tears to my eyes.

Gosh I wish this video was much longer! This is so sweet and heartwarming to watch especially as someone who is really looking into PT. I'm hoping to find an internship as a rising HS senior this year :)

[rosapaniagua]

This is why I want to be a physical therapist

[febaroypt]

just wanna be like you Madam...may the good lord bless you abundantly.

[porkchoppeaches]

Can you work as an assistant PT in this field ? Or do they tend to only need Physical Therapists. I don't think I could make it through a Masters degree

[mariavalle]

I love your job! Im planning on becoming a pt my self but im not sure what paths to take. I would LOVE to do something like what you do. If you can help me with some advice on what paths to take i would be Really Grateful.

I’m supposed to write a summary for this video in 6 sentences but i’m to distracted with the kids trying to have fun with their disabilities and feeling bad for them. But hey most of the kids shown are around the same age as me now. weird to think about

[PrioBak]

Im an occupational therapist in peads.. the things you show in the videos are fun but doing soap are a pain

[DulceDeLecheeee]

im not smart enough to become a physical therapist so i just gave up on life...

Physical Therapy should be changed to kinesiology.
