I decided to study PT when I was a kid, but I am super introverted and shy. When I started working at an outpatient clinic and started acquiring observation hours with a PT I was forced and challenged to improve on my social skills. I have to say it was definitely a roller coaster. I'd say my next biggest challenge is constantly staying fit and healthy. To whoever is down the same path or still exploring their options: You got this. We got this!
Bro I am just like you,I am introverted and shy,I decided to choose this course, please tell me some of your experience as an introvert in PT so maybe I can decide whether to join or not
@@kokushibo9100 Honestly, I am a whole different person from when I first started this journey and to where I am right now. I won't sugar-coat anything, so let's get the biggest negatives out of the way first: (1) socially awkward conversations is inevitable, but over the span of a few couple months you learn what to say the next time whenever whatever topic comes back. (2) This is a career that is team-based, and some of my coworkers would feel uncomfortable working with particular patients flirting with them, so I learned to take initiative, set boundaries, and become the middle man to mediate said situations. (3) meeting a first time patient is difficult because you don't know anything about him/her, but I learned a few "ice breaker" questions to get to know them more - so yes, you will need to practice your own personal script when it comes to meeting new patients. (4) the mental fatigue (which is never a personal thing, it is simply an introverted thing) is very real, but I learned to communicate with my supervisors and luckily they were understanding: they would let me have a 2-hour lunch for only one work day of the week. I would say these are the biggest negatives, but these only lasted a year. I am still shy and introverted, but definitely not as much as before. Today, I am taking initiative and being the best leader I can for my team, and my favorite part about this journey is that it turned me from being a pessimistic into an optimistic. Never had I imagined that I would have this change of perspectives, and I love how much I am growing from this. I have friends now. For the longest time I thought I could do everything by myself, but working and studying PT has made me realized that I need people on my side - that I need a team. This took me a year to progress to where I am at right now and it may take longer or shorter for you. The most important thing is to keep moving forward. Because before you know it you will be on top of the mountain. As Travis Scott famously rapped: "You will go up and down, but you will never fall".
Yes I’ve been a PT for 35 years. I got out of the clinic after 20 years because of hitting a pay ceiling, the unbelievable documentation, and the restrictions put on me by insurances and hospitals/clinic. I was unable to really grow. I got certified in Pilates, wrote 3 books and started my own therapeutic Pilates business to meet the needs of discharged PT patients to avoid reinjury. I can still use my knowledge and help people with pain. I often kick myself for not just becoming a physician.
Wow I love the story and how this unscratchable itch of discomfort lead you to freedom! Love this so much! You’re an inspiration to be able to write 3 books and start your own practice. Thank you for sharing !
Same, ive been a PT for 5 years and thinking of going to medical school
@@influentialnobody8960reason?
@@influentialnobody8960good plan.where are you based?
@InfinityHealthPilates..hi..a fellow PT here. I have also left practice but due to Sjogren's syndrome and POTS. I always wished during my career as a PT that I should have chosen to be physician.
I just checked your channel and loved the videos. Subscribed and will watch more.
This is AWESOME!! Thank you so much for sharing all of this!
So real and helpful, thank you so much for this. You fit the niche perfectly!
I want to keep it as real as possible. I appreciate you sharing your feedback J Ross (:
Love that you talk about ALL the important parts of PT!
Thank you so much!! I think it’s important to shed light to the profession as a whole, including the negative sides. I appreciate you jasmine!
I just finished my first year of PT school and am on clinicals right now. Love your channel!
Congrats on finishing your first year of PT school! That is a huge accomplishment and you should be proud of yourself to be able to survive this far LOL if you need assistance with clinical rotations, I am here to support you! Thank you for supporting this channel. I appreciate you
I really really appreciate your channel it has shown me the good and the bad and has really helped me figure out what I’m value and what by I would love to be a PT
Nothing easy in this world!
I do really appreciate for sharing PT life!
You are amazing! Love your energy❤ keep posting these interessting videos.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I try to give the highest quality videos on my channel. This includes my energy! If I am not in the right state of mind to film, I will delay it to ensure that I produce good content. Thank you for your constant support Lydia ❤️
loving this!! thank you
I appreciate your honesty. Although many people do not talk about the dark side of things, and the hard work that goes into PT, I believe that we need to talk more about it. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this comment. Talking about the negative side to physical therapy is not easy because I love the profession so much! But it is definitely something that should be talked about more, which is why I wanted to create this video. I appreciate you bro!
So what exactly is the dark side?
I really appraise your videos, thank you for your valuable tips!
Even though I’m sure you’re very busy and i’m not sure how you do it😂, you still take the time to put out entertaining and informative videos for us and we definitely love and appreciate it!! Hope you’re doing well during this pandemic!
CHIKA E!! You are the (WO)MAN! Not sure what gender you are... but thank you so much for recognizing this and sharing such great feedback. I appreciate you. I am doing well during this pandemic (knock on wood). I hope you are safe and doing well too.
I enjoy your videos and this honest perspective on becoming a PT. I am working in a different field and have been doing part time observation hours as I was considering PT school. And I think the work would be a little more fulfilling than my current work but I’m just beginning to think the opportunity cost and financial cost of going back to school is just not worth it.
Thank you for supporting my channel and watching my videos. That means a lot Kyle! I think it's important to discuss all aspects of PT so students like yourself can make a more informed decision about this profession. I wish I had this info when I was in your shoes. Schooling is a lot and cost is enormous... If money is your primary motivator I would not recommend PT
Really useful information. Thank you 🙏
I really appreciate his effort I am learning a lot from it.
I don't know how i stumbled upon this man, but I'm back in school after 14 years. School this round is much easier or I have a more desire to learn. I'm very excited to PTA then PT then DPT this bad boy!!! I played professional sports and I'm very excited to help athletes!
How old are you ? How is school going
I'm currently 15 and I plan on being a travel physical therapist who works specifically with sports teams. I've had an interest in the study of body parts, the mechanics of them, etc, and most importantly helping others be the best version of themselves ever since I was around the age of 10 . Starting this fall ill be dual enrolled into college, and im currently picking out the classes I would like to take . However the question came across my mind "Do I really want to be a physical therapist?" "And do I fit characteristics of being a therapist" throughout the course of the video, its helped me realize how much of a perfect fit of a job I have chosen. Thank you so much!!
Wow this is an amazing story and I'm so glad you are able to have that clarity in your future at such an early age!! I would recommend watching some of my other videos to see if you could resonate more with this profession!
Your channel is amazing man . I have been doing so much research on figuring out what direction I want to go in . I am nursing now but I miss physical therapy deeply and I am contemplating on dropping out of nursing to go back to PT . The thing is with PT I am 3 classes away from fulfilling all my requirements for school . The 3 classes worry me though they are physics 2 chem 2 and precalc most schools I have been looking into don’t require Calculus. I am also looking into PTA school too because it’s cheaper and I can hurry and be done with school. Can you give me some advice
Dr Lee I'm very motivated with this video and it makes me to figure out before I can make up my mind.
My question is what are the main subjects in PT what are the challenges faced while you tackle this carrier?
I feel you bro😂😂😂
(reason 6&7) Absolutely I agree with you also👍👍👍
I love your videos 🙌🏻
I was a Physical Therapist for 7 years before I went back to school. I liked PT but hated the job overall. I believe for the amount of time and money spent in education to become a PT the degree pays limited dividends in the end. I cannot think of a PhD program where you have worse working conditions and get paid less. I’m sure somebody reading this can think of a few doctorate degrees that are worse but I cannot. Hindsight 20/20 I would have never gone into PT. Many professions have better working conditions and pay; PA, NP, Pharmacist, Chiropractor, Dentist, and of course Physician. Many from my PT class went back to school to become PAs.
Thank you for this video! Do you think PTA (Physical therapist assistant) would be a good career for someone who wants to work in the medical field but doesn't like needles/blood? I know this is a very "hands on" job but I think PT or PTAs are not as exposed to diseases as for example nurses of physicians who are constantly treating sick patients. I might be wrong. What precautions do PT/PTAs take for example if a patient has a skin condition/infection? Do they wear gloves the whole time?
Came across your channel and you've sharing great information! Thank you for doing this!
I am PT but it's been quite a big professional gap in my career as had been busy raising my kids. Now I want to restart again, and I am confused whether to get back into my PT profession. Only with a bachelor's degree in hand and this huge a career gap, I am little skeptical in getting back into this field. Plus, the burnout and how demanding this profession can be, family life will definitely be affected. My BPT is from India, and I am in US now. Could you guide me any other career options that I can look into?

Which Healthcare Profession is Right for Me?
ruclips.net/video/MHwRlZDQPvg/видео.html
Aww, thanks for the informative vid! I'm your new subscriber...☑
You are right, at a certain point in my early childhood, I've needed (and received) physical therapy due to some reasons. I didn't really like it, but eventually realized that PT isn't a joke until I had to be the patient! It's a VERY important field. I appreciated my PT a lot and I wanna be one @^^@
I'd just like to have your thoughts...In the country I currently live in, we can get into DPT without needing an undergraduate degree, we can get into DPT directly after high school! but DPT here is 5 years long...and it's much, much affordable! (I can pay it out of pocket)...That's why I'm planning to apply now that I graduated high school! (I already have great customer service experience as a cashier)...I think this field is still for me!
But I'm only kinda worried about the work hours, I don't mind working long hours, but in the future, I wanna be 100% free with no PT work to do before 2pm (3pm is also fine, but I wanna be free by 2pm)..Because my future family life/kids will be my #1 priority, do you think it's possible to start working earlier during the day and then come home early as well? I'm planning to work in the US in the future but on the internet, it says that PT clinics are from 7am-7pm :/
Like is it possible to start working at 5-6am rather than 7am? Is 8 hours the minimum I am allowed to do? I mean is it flexible hours?
And when I become old, like when I reach my 50/60s, do you think I'll be able to be a professor for DPT? How do I know the requirements for that? (I prolly won't have the physical capacity to physically work anymore, lol)
Thanks for the vids! Much appreciated, God bless ☺
I am glad you are interested in the same field! to be honest... I do not know but it will likely depend on the location of your clinic and if they will allow you to have those desired hours. Some clinics are flexible and will have the hours that you want.
Thank you for subbing!
I agree with you my friend. I think these reasons apply in many countries. I am working in Mexico and I realize that it is the same, despite everything, physiotherapy is a beautiful profession that needs comitted people.
From my experience as a COTA and have worked diff settings (nursing homes, hospital, inpatient rehab). Most places are a patient mill, all about productivity, unrealistic expectations, stress on your body, and its not about quality of care.
Hi Justin, is Documentation done during your working hours or after (after clocking out for the day)? Also, is PT a second career for you meaning you had a different field for your bachelors? I have my Bachelors in Business and I am considering DPT. For most schools, I would need to complete 2 semester courses of Chemistry and Physics at the minimum. I am 26 now, what would be your advice for someone like me? I'm mainly interested in PT since I enjoy fitness and exercising but I'm also compassionate for helping people.
Hey Eugene! Thank you for reaching out and commenting your question. As far as documentation goes, the goal is to try to finish documentation during your working hours, but if you cannot finish you will have to finish it after clocking out. This is where a lot of physical therapists get burnt out because they are working way more than the average 40 hours a week.
I majored in exercise science for my undergraduate degree. This was really useful because a lot of the concepts or similar in PT school. However, your major does not matter when trying to become a physical therapist. As you have figured out, you just need to fulfill all the requirements that are needed for the PT school application. Even if you are 26 now, it is still not too late to become a PT. We had students that were in their 30s in PT school. I made a video discussing what major is best for PT school. I think you’ll find this video insightful ruclips.net/video/crg9SmZ8YMI/видео.html
I think PT's, Kinesiotherapists (KT's), and Exercise Physiologists (EP's) all do the same the same thing. All three clinical practitioners use exercise therapies, manual techniques, and other therapies to help patients/clients rehab from injury. These professions greatly overlap each other. However, I'd give a slight advantage to Exercise Physiologist because they do a bit more and are diverse in their field.
As a former former PT patient, I learned about the EP from having to go in cardiac and pulmonary rehab for stress testing, exercise, and further rehab for my back. They reminded me so mich of what PT's do but they know a lot about medicine I take and what exercise does. The place where I did PT had limitations on questions i asked about fitness, and my heart which is why it was suggested to see an EP. I had concerns about how an EP could help me with my back injury after going through PT. That's when I experienced how similar yet different the two are.
The experience i had with PT was good but the EP's I worked with were good too, but I think they know more due to the fact that they work with patients from different health issues outside of physical injuries.
Basically exercise physiologists are medical doctors with specialization. PTs are therapists with medical knowledge but limited to more with muscles etc.
that little shit you did at 16:17 was enough for me to come to the conclusion that i will drop out of PT school tomorrow. im 26 and currently enrolled in my 2nd year of a 4 year online program that charges 110k, ive taken out 55k in loans in addition to 15k from undergrad but after going halfway through the curriculum, learning more about the profession, working with physical therapists over the past 8 months and gaining knowledge about investing and finances ive decided its just not worth taking out 55k loans and expending 2 years towards learning the material just to force my way out of it within 5-10 years. The field is super saturated, fighting with insurance is exhausting and the APTA "union" yeah dont get me started.... this is a great profession but too many regulations and the lackluster quality of research and marketability is freightning, some ppl cant even tell the difference between and PT and Personal trainer/athletic trainer/coach. atleast chiropractors learn how to market the profession while they are in school, no DPT school does that which is why its hard to open a private practice
Did you end up dropping out? What are you doing now?
So now what?
Is it possible to have a 1-1 call with you? I can pay as I know you’re very busy. You’re amazing and I’d love to hear more from you privately!
Everyone is “busy” but what matters how you prioritize. And to me, you are a priority. We can absolutely set that up. Can you email me and we can discuss further details there. Liftforchange@gmail.com
6:30 hmmm, I see. My experience of PT is different. Mine was, at first, paid for by insurance, for an MVA. I never felt like my PT has to sell anything because she was just legitimately good, and legit enjoys her job. She didnt have to convince me to go back, I always wanted to go back. Never felt like she was stressed about the physicality of her job, or the long hours. So going to her always just felt like the most natural thing, like I was just going to hang out with a friend, and relax. I mean... I always knew she was good, but she just might be so good that she makes it look easy, and my experience was actually unusually positive. That is probably why they are the top physio spot in town, and they're always busy. There was no indication she ever struggled to get clients.
I m in real estate do home remodeling &Decoration..Thinking to update to PT because my hubby just turned 65years old..thinking to open Small Senior physical therapy gym!..I can be his PT of course the rest of seniors. I would like to hear your comments?
My mentor and the best physical therapist I've ever met is technically out of shape and overweight, but that's because most of PT, I would gander, is actually "pain science," disguised as as pathoanatomy. What're your thoughts on that assertion? Sincerely curious.
Great question! As PTs we definitely work in the realm of pain science, since we typically help people get out of pain. However we aren’t strictly in that field. I would say we are more in the science of movement science and have associations in pain science and pathoanatomy. As far as the weight is concerned.. I’m not here to judge overweight PTs, but if we are preaching exercise, movement, and doing everything possible to decrease the amount of stress on our tissues, then weight management is a huge part of that. Imagine a 100lbs vs. 300lbs person and the amount of stress to the knees.. I just think of it like this. If you went to a dermatologist that has horrible skin (not due to factors that cannot control) then would you trust that derm? Not to say that they are not good, but that’s just the perception factor
HAHA! 😂
I literally anticipated that you would say “documentation”
Haha exactly after treatments and the need to record them down
Sigh* it is kind of tiring
It’s probably the worst part about working as a physical therapist, but absolutely necessary. LOL it is hilarious that you anticipated I would say documentation! It’s like you know me!!
As a highschooler, I've been considering Physical Therapy as my profession. Most of the things I'm fine with, but I'm a high stresser. Would it be possible for someone like me to become a Physical Therapist? Or should I consider a different occupation?
The worst part is that the only thing on this video that is making me reconsider becoming a pt is the tuition part. I’m not from much money 😅
I hope this isn't taking the wrong way but the stuff that was said about not seeing a dermatologist with bad skin or a dietitian that was overweight, that's the way that I thought when I was probably in my twenties but now that I've turned 40 I think of a differently like because I'm overweight I've considered being a dietitian to help other people and I can see a person with bad skin becoming a dermatologist because they dove into that area of expertise because of their condition.
So people tend to gravitate towards areas of interest based on personal experience.
Just like why so many psychiatrist's chose that field because of their own personal or family problems.
🤷🏻♀️ Just IMO

Hey Justin, i wanted to get into dpt school. Is that ok to study a different bachelor's degree like baslp. and if so could you make up a video on prerequisite required to enter dpt school. It would be super helpful :-)
Hey Karthik it is absolutely OK to study a different bachelors degree. In fact it does not necessarily matter what major you choose, as long as you fulfill all the requirements that are needed for PT school. I have a video that will help understand this more ruclips.net/video/i_ImLMjK2RY/видео.html
Also, here’s a video to teach you the fastest way to get into physical therapy school. I talk about how to arrange your pre-requisite courses so that you don’t waste your time ruclips.net/video/9zAhsxC2eug/видео.html
Bro I agree with you👍👍👍101‰😅
I never thought physical therapy would require selling. If I specialize in cardiopulmonary in a hospital does that really require selling physical therapy ?
Hey what’s up bro. I know different PT schools require a different amount of observational hours, but what would you say is the “average” amount schools in the US require?
It all ranges from having zero observation hours to 200 minimum. I always recommend getting more than the minimum amount. Here is a website where it shows all the physical therapy schools across the nation and how many observations they require ptcasdirectory.apta.org/5257/PT-Observation-Requirements-by-Program
Do you need help landing a job as a physical therapy aide?
@@drjustinleedpt Preciate it a lot doc. And no, thank you, I’m currently working as a pt aide.
@@drjustinleedpt Also, what advice would you give someone trying to make a PT school list?
@@Ronaghinor I'm coming out with a video on that soon (;
@liftforchange I need some becoming a pt aide. There is a position open at the Mayo Clinic as a rehab tech and I am not too sure if it'll be a good fit to get observational hours.
Hello, I want to say thank you for making these videos. I'm having a hard time deciding if I should switch universities to pursue a better program for physical therapy. I saw that you recommended CBU online for the undergrad program on your other video. I'm thinking about switching to the school. I looked at the list of the requirements for classes and they didn't require physics to graduate. Is it needed to become a physical therapist? Also, what are the job options if I decide not to continue with school after a bachelor's degree?
You’re absolutely welcome Vic. So there are a couple things I want to address. In order to get into PT school, every program will have different prerequisites, but for the most part, taking these courses are going to be required - Bio I/II, Chem I/II, physics I/II, anatomy and physiology). I would say about 95% of all programs will will require these. So… yes it is needed. Also keep in mind that most programs will also require an IN- PERSON LAB vs online labs. Just something to think about. Lastly, what major are you? That will help determine what jobs are out there
@@drjustinleedpt currently I am majoring in exercise science, but I think I'm going to actually be switching to sports administration with a minor in psychology so maybe I can be an athletic director. I'm not sure I want to do PT anymore
@@viccarter7382 Ahhhh gotcha! Hey now worries! At least you investigated and now you KNOW that this is something you DO NOT want to do. Thats a big deal. Good luck with everything Vic!
@@drjustinleedpt Thank you!! I appreciate it and still love your videos!!
@viccarter7382 What made you not wanna do DPT anymore if you don't mind me asking.
Where do you work that your company doesn’t pay you when a patient cancels? That sounds illegal.
I’m an occupational therapist. Worse decision I’ve ever made. I am mentally, physically and financially exhausted. I’m looking into tech.
I am sorry to hear that.. thats a tough place to be.. I hear some PT’s think similarly too..

What is your view on a career as a PTA (Physical Therapy Assistant)?
I think it is a great career path! There is nothing wrong with a career as a PTA. However, if you want more authority and leader ship in the world of physical therapy, you are going to have to educate yourself to be that authority figure.
Here is a video on the differences between PTA and DPT. I’m sure you will find this video insightful ruclips.net/video/crg9SmZ8YMI/видео.html
Antonio Sanson has a good PTA channel worth checking out. Unfortunately PTA is one profession that doesn’t have a lot of content coverage on RUclips or social media. I have been practicing as a PTA for almost a decade now and would be happy to give you some detail on the career field if you want.
@@jozing8372 Yes I would greatly appreciate it!
@@jozing8372 thanks Jo Zing for helping out! Really appreciate you going the extra step to assist students on my channel
Can someone tell me if there is a difference between a physiotherapist and a physical therapist or if there’re the same thing.
Physiotherapist is how the profession is referred in Europe.
They are both the same thing. In the United States they are called physical therapists and everywhere else around the world they are called physiotherapists. Do United States just likes to make up their own names for things; just like all the measurements (liter vs gallon, kilogram vs pounds, etc)
@@josephwhite4631 Thank you for responding Joseph!
Hello can I do doctor of physical therapy..I did my bsc in clinical nutrition and dietetics in india...m I eligible for dpt ... which Type of DPT can I choose...u reply would be helpful
Depending on the level and type of education, the USA will determine if your education is adequate enough to practice or not. I would recommend checking out this site to see your eligibility www.fsbpt.org/Free-Resources/Foreign-Educated-PTs-and-PT-Assistants
I’m satisfied just being a pTaid I clean a lot but satisfied
I m DPT graduated can i apply for MD now?
In the US? You would still need to fufill the prerequisites for med school
My biggest question is if it’s possible to work during the program?
Would it be hard as the physician assistant program? To work and be able have success at the school.
I would absolutely go to a dentist with messed up teeth, because they cant do work on themselves. Your last point made me unsubscribe. I've had patients tell me they didnt like coming in because they were out of shape and all of the PTs and PTAs were basically gym bros. They would have probably been more comfortable with a fluffy DPT.
There is a homeless financial advisor out there that can use your business.
Its not really worth the time or money. Unless you really want to do it, its definitely a bad choice.
My daughter also PT terapist study but im not like they not have any government job also n only young time work only n not get any respect frm people's really i don't like...to give to study for m Douther i feel simple West the time

7 Reasons to NOT get into Physical Therapy
ruclips.net/video/Qdc3TggTw9s/видео.html
Instead of convincing people why they shouldn't become a physical therapist, maybe we should try to fix the areas that are wrong with the occupation itself. Remember, if less people want to become a physical therapist, we will have a shortage of them. Thus, putting more caseloads on you, who is already a physical therapist. Convincing people not to do a job that is actually meaningful and necessary is totally counterintuitive. Just thinking outside the box. Am I wrong? If so, please let me know.
Hiding the truth of a profession is not the right answer. You’re right that the issues should be fixed but that’s the APTAs job, not his.
You are right. These problems have only become worse with time. I have been a PT for over 20 years. Taking insurance versus cash for our services has increased our documentation (we have to document skill and medical necessity to get insurance to reimburse and they make it hard to prove); working for large corporations and other people (mostly because of increased regulations after the Affordable Care Act - don’t vote leaders that support Universal Healthcare etc. )versus working for ourselves has reduced our pay; check out the Medicare Physician Fee schedule to see an example of how much your employer is taking from you!! Supervising PTAs without additional reimbursement is also a mistake as your license is being used and you are at increased liability while someone else is profiting. Let’s fix it!
Translating the last point: don’t become a physical therapist if you’re fat 😂
right because a women in need of pelvic floor therapy cares if you still have the baby weight 10 years later
JESUS IS THE WAY TO HEAVEN.
REPENT AND BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST.
