Physical therapy is a health career in charge of helping patients who have suffered accidents, injuries or immobility in the body, restoring or improving the psychomotor ability of the individual or even of preventing possible permanent disability. This has different areas such as respiratory therapy, Neurotherapy, trauma and among other.
Since I was 15 I wanted to study a health career, but only two years ago I decided to study Physical Therapy owing to the fact that I didn't know. I did it mainly because when I report on this, note that is built around rehabilitation, an action that has interested me since teenager.
Still I don't know what area to choose physical therapy even though I'm interested in several (such as respiratory or neurology) but whatever my choice, I have the highest expectations about it, because when i decided to study this career, I did with the conviction of doing the best at my job to help my patients.
Today, I would write about Physical Therapy's web. I found an web very interesant and important, this is http://www.Apta.org (APTA is a American Physical Therapy Association). At first it seems a complicated site, but when you understand how to use it, you can find important things like the history of the APTA. Also its goals, Policies and Bylaws, Sentence and Statement vision.
Apta.org, also includes, sections about practise of physical therapy. There, can find Clinical Practice Resources, Ethics and Legal Resources and Professional Development among other things, which would be very important for those students who are graduating.
On the other hand, if needed can find a physical therapist who is right for you in the national database of physical therapist members of the American Physical Therapy Association.
If you become a member of the website, you can receive various publications, articles or papers in your e-mail that can be used to get information of progress in Physical Therapy.
In my opinion, this is a great web of Physical Therapy, because it provides detailed and important information that can be useful for professionals, students or ordinary people.
