Hi! Any physical therapist, I'm looking into going into college for it because it's something I want too do. How did you get into it, what do you love about it and where could I start learning things on my own?

    In undergrad you generally take an exercise science as a major. There is 10 required classes that you need to have a high grade in in order to be a strong candidate when applying for PT school. Physical therapy is a 3 year graduate doctorate program. So overall if you are successful with undergrad/graduate school you can finish within 7 years.

    I'm a 2nd year PT student right now and absolutely love it.

    Awesome! That's such great information. It's nice too hear that people are loving it and enjoying it, just makes me that much more excited. I figured if I stuck too it, it would be that amount of time or longer.
