Physical therapists work with patients to help them regain control of certain body parts that may have been injured or undergone surgery. Strengthening those muscles and body parts is also an important aspect of physical therapy. They also help people manage their pain, this could include recommending a patient to a pain consultant or performing acupuncture. (Not all physical therapists perform acupuncture).]]> 2016-09-26 00:47:52 UTC https://padlet.com/63446/6y3gif3vogo4/wish/126247881 63446 https://padlet.com/63446/6y3gif3vogo4/wish/126455434 2016-09-26 17:24:46 UTC https://padlet.com/63446/6y3gif3vogo4/wish/126455434 63446 https://padlet.com/63446/6y3gif3vogo4/wish/126456207 I am interested in this career my brother helps the trainer at the high school. He really enjoys it so I thought it would be an interesting career to research and possibly pursue. Also, when my mom was in physical therapy for her back, I got to go in and see what they do for myself. I thought it was cool how simple stretches a few times a week can aid in the healing process of a surgery  or injury.]]> 2016-09-26 17:26:42 UTC https://padlet.com/63446/6y3gif3vogo4/wish/126456207 63446 https://padlet.com/63446/6y3gif3vogo4/wish/126459752 Physical therapists typically work in hospitals, nursing homes, and private offices and clinics.
