Doctors often recommend physical therapy for kids who have been injured or have movement problems from an illness, disease, or disability. Physical therapists are often able to relieve pain and help kids resume daily activities. After an injury, physical therapists teach kids exercises designed to help them regain strength and range of motion, and also show them how to prevent a recurring injury. Physical therapy may be needed any time a child has difficulty moving in such a way that it limits daily activities. Doctors may recommended PT for kids with: - developmental delays
- cerebral palsy
- genetic disorders
- orthopedic disabilities
- heart and lung conditions
- birth defects
- effects of in-utero drug or alcohol exposure
- acute trauma
- head injury
- limb deficiencies
- muscle deficincies
In order to become a successful physical therapist you have to major in a lot of science and health science courses, that's why next year I'm joining HOSA to see what it's like going to the hospitals and clinics and stuff, I'm so excited about that!:) In order to work as a physical therapist, one must first graduate from a physical therapist educational program with a master's or doctoral degree. The different courses that I mentioned earlier are mainly biology, chemistry, and physics, as well as specialized courses, which are you electives, are biomechanics, neuronatomy, human growth and development, manifestations of disease, examination techniques, and therapeutic procedures. In order to practice beforehand, like I'm going to do over the summer, graduates from physical therapist programs must pass national and state licensing exams. In order to retain their licenses, many states require PTs to take continuing education classes and attend workshops.
Physical therapy focuses on individuals who have disturbed functions or impairment related to the musculoskeletal, neurological, cardiopulmonary, and integumentary systems. It also focuses on methods of evaluating the functions of these systems and on the selection and application of appropriate therapeutic interventions to alleviate pain. Physical therapists help patients, including accident victims and individuals with disabling conditions such as low-back pain, arthritis, heart disease, fractures, head injuries, and cerebral palsy, by providing services that restore function, improve mobility, and prevent or limit permanent physical disabilities. They most importantly, restore, maintain, and promote overall fitness and health. Say hello to the future Dr. Isabel Amoedo:).

Massage therapists work in settings of both private and public: private offices, studios, hospitals, nursing homes, fitness centers, sports medicine facilities, airports, and shopping malls. Massage therapists work by appointment. Before beginning a massage therapy session, therapists conduct an informal interview with the client to find out about the person's medical history and desired results from the massage. Massage therapists can succumb to injury if the proper technique is not used. The risk can be limited by use of good technique, proper spacing between sessions, exercise, and in many cases by the therapists themselves receiving a massage on a regular basis. Massage therapists typically give massages less than 40 hours per week. Most therapists who work 15 to 30 hours per week consider themselves to be full-time workers, because when time for travel, equipment set-up, and business functions, such as billing, are added, a massage therapist's hours per week may very well be more than 40 hours.
The practice of massage therapy started with the Ancient Chinese, Greek, Roman, Indian, and the Egyptian era. The Yellow Emperor's classic book of Internal Medicine, recommends "breathing exercises, massage of skin and flesh, and exercises of hands and feet" in the Chinese era. Massage was one of the principal method of revealing pain for Greek and Roman physicians. In Egypt, the Egyptian tomb paintings showed people practicing massage. Ayurveda, the traditional Indian system of medicine, where they had great emphasis on massage and it remains widely practiced in India. Massage was therefore used by early physicians to treat fatigue, illness, and injury based on their basic understanding of how the body functions. The disintegration of the Greek and Roman civilization lead to a scarce practice of massage until the late 19th century that brought about the demand for massage as a therapy.
