Diego Torres Hell yeah bro! Working as a PT now, was exactly what I envisioned for myself when I was going through school when I was in your shoes. Even when it almost seems unrelated like chemistry, I continue to tell myself that all of this is worth it because I will be impacting so many people as a physical therapist. And later when you do become a physical therapist, you want to be proud of the work and the journey that you’ve worked so hard for. I BELIEVE IN YOU
Starting my first PT job next week in an ortho clinic and I am NERVOUS! What resources do you like to use to help build your clinical reasoning? Thanks!
WOW CONGRATS!!!!! Well first off, you need to believe in yourself! You’re way smarter than you think. You passed the freaken licensing exam! You can do this. But if you need a great rest pics for clinical reasoning, PhysioU.com is AWESOME!
It’s a large age range from 10-80 years old.. haha by typically the average age would be around 40-55 years old. Usually around the time when the body starts to break down if your don’t keep up with it haha
hey man! i absolutely love your videos but ive been wondering, how were you able to handle a marriage while doing PT school at the same time? Most of the people i talk to have a negative outlook on being in a relationship or getting married before fully graduating :/
Hey for sorry the late response… but as far as a marriage while PT…. DO IT! I think it really just depends on what your prioritize and what you can handle. Everyone is different, but getting married during PT was great! However…. I would get married right after PT school or at least when things settle down. That way you’re not stressing over it
what is the brand of your watch and (mask) you're wearing the classic black and white it's super cool looking? let me know for me one of the best ways to get inspired is through a collaboration with other people bouncing off ideas from one person to another, usually physios typically work by themselves in a room setting can you make a video talking about what are ways not only to keep on learning the stuff you need to know but to emotionally grow as a person as well?
Typically if you pursue a PhD, you are primarily working in research and as a professor. However if you pursue a clinical doctorate in physical therapy, you are working in the clinic as a physical therapist. Hope that helps!!
@@drjustinleedpt Yes thank you! Do you guys also research about weightlifting as well? E.x What training frequency is the most optimal for muscle growth
Hi I just got admitted into USC for Human Bio and hope to be a physical therapist is there any advice you have for soon to be undergraduate, and if my major is goo for a focus in PT and how the work was managed for such a tough major? Also did u do school in Hawaii for both under and grad bc I really wanna do school there as well, and how was your experience there
Congrats Feben on your acceptance!! USC is not an easy school to get admitted into. You should be super proud of yourself. The major is good because a lot of the classes you will take in your major will also fulfill a lot of the prerequisites for PT school. I personally recommend students to major in some thing like exercise science or kinesiology, but your major is good as well! Since your major is going to be super heavily involved with sciences, it will be a much tougher major compared to exercise science. I went to school for undergrad and grad school in California. I believe Hawaii is going to start their first PT program next year. By the time you are ready to apply, Hawaii Pacific University should have a PT program available. Without writing a novel on this comment, I specifically created an online course for students like yourself to help them learn everything they need to know to get accepted into physical therapy school. Many students who have taken this course found it helpful and if you realized the secret tips and strategies that I share to get them admitted into a PT program. I think this course will absolutely help answer a lot of your questions and will set you up to be successful when you are ready to apply to grad school. liftforchange.mykajabi.com/offers/U2qRvfim/checkout
I am working to get my license to practice...but i am currently doing my masters in the UK. Can i get a job without the DPT. Ps: i plan on doing once i move to the US
You would have to contact APTA to see what your degree is eligible for. Your masters degree might transfer and be equivalent to a doctorate degree but it really depends. The US is very particular about this
I’m 28 still at home I’m humbled and bless my folks didn’t kick me out but I’m very interested in a dpt I calculated when I’m done I’ll be in my maybe early to mid 30s is that common?
You are lucky to have loving parents! It depends how much you have done. If you do not have any work done towards your application, it may take you several years. If you already have a bachelors, I would say about 4-5 years from there. If you do not have any degree, you’re probably looking at round 8-9 years
@@SamBWinning I'm 27 soon to be 28 and just got accepted into a DPT program. I feel the same way as I am also living at home (which everyone I've ever told that too is jealous and has always wished they were still living at home, so don't feel bad about that!) I believe a majority of the programs are 3 years long. If you have your bachelor's in Kinesiology or some relevant degree then chances are a high majority of your courses are relevant to entering a DPT program. So that would require less time for you. If you haven't done much in the exercise science field, then I would strongly recommend asking yourself if you have a strong passion for working with patients and love communicating in an empathetic manner with patients. Also, if you don't mind biting the bullet on some super challenging courses... mine were exercise physiology and biomechanics as I struggled with physics. Also making sure that you have tons of experience within the field helps tremendously. There are lots of steps to get there, but in the long term, it is completely worth it as you'd now be an instrument doing God's work healing people. That's something a business degree could never buy. Hope any of this information has helped or influenced you in a certain direction! :)
@@supersaiyangroku4856 I have passion for patient care I just don’t know which direction to go take. I’m praying everyday I was considering respiratory therapy to nursing and dpt . I just have to make up my mind.

Really great watching your vlogs 🔥
🔥 appreciate that bro!!!
Can you put Dr in front of your bane when treating the patient?
Yup! Definitely can. I introduced myself like this, “hi ______! My name is Dr. Justin Lee, physical therapist and I’ll be helping you out today. I see that your doctor referred you over to PT for ____ could you tell me more about that? If you introduce yourself as doctor, you always have to make sure that you include physical therapist in there.
I thought pt wear scrubs
NOPE!! Usually in outpatient settings, PT’s will wear more business casual clothing
hi sir, iam a Phsical therapist in the philipines, can I apply in your clinic?
You would first need to obtain a PT license in the USA before being eligible to work in the USA (and in this clinic)
sco ducks! I see that oregon flag..
HAHA MY BOSS IS A HUGE FAN!!! You should see his room.... green walls on one side and yellow walls on the other
Is 36 to old to start a PTA career?
Personally, I think it’s a little late considering the amount of student loans you’ll have.. but if finances are not an issue, it’s not late!!
