Physical Therapy

Duties and responsibilities: Physical therapy is a growing part of the medical industry. Physical therapists are key to recovery for some patients who are recovering from injuries, illnesses, and surgery. They work with patients to help them regain movement and manage pain, either in a hospital or clinical setting. They are fully licensed to practice therapy and treatment on patients, and doing so often helps patients reclaim their lives, their momentum, and their contentment.

Salary: $84,020

Education: Physical therapy aides and assistants are typically entry-level roles in the field. However, it is important to note that physical therapy aides and assistants have different responsibilities. The role of an assistant often requires a specific degree and certification or licensure, depending on the state in which you reside. An aide could qualify for employment without a college degree or certification.

Demand: Demand for physical therapy services will come in from the large number of aging baby boomers, who are staying more active later in life than their counterparts of previous generations. Older people are more likely to experience heart attacks, strokes, and mobility-related injuries that require physical therapy for rehabilitation.
