I’m a young high school student and I plan on being a physical therapist because I love helping people and theses videos are helping me 💜✨

[@trentolsen8232]

Same!

[@SayedI313]

Hey, nothing has more ups and downs than working as an elevator repairmen

[@alejandramendez6993]

Thank you for this video. I’ve been a massage therapist for a little over ten years working at chiropractic offices. I’m interested in going back to school for physical therapy.

[@MrSriphat07]

Thank you for sharing. I'm PT Aide, and I see that from my mentors (DPT, PTA, OT). One of my duties is to get work with Rx exercises and correcting form and technic. So far, all I know is if I listen to their life story, I can get them to moving or work-out.

[@codychristensen2934]

Starting PTA school TOMORROW!!!! Your videos have given great information while waiting to begin!! Thank you, guys!!

[@abbym7964]

Good luck!

[@codychristensen2934]

Thank you!

[@mikefley8500]

So, how did it go?

[@xy2565]

I love being a PT in a musculoskeletal clinic. Being a PT within the hospital is quite sad seeing the patient’s conditions. But seeing a patient get better is amazing.

[@Whatsername868]

Nice vid!! Love these!

[@kevindrake714]

Great team!

[@jakeeemyman]

Y’all are the best. So motivating. Keep it up.

[@AntonioSanson]

Thanks for the support!!

[@jaydanandkyla4074]

I’ve wanted to become a Physical Therapy Assistant since 10th grade when I broke my knee and had to go to Physical Therapy for over 5 months and it’s my inspiration to help people get better, be able to walk and help them get stronger!! 💕

[@Anabela2023]

Love you both soooooo much🙋🏾‍♀️❤️

[@AntonioSanson]

Thanks for the support! Good job at becoming a PTA!

[@PudikTV]

thanks for the information...

[@williamkirk1902]

Thank you so much I’m 30yrs old and I’m one of those people lol that has a bachelors in marketing but that didn’t pan out for me. I ended up in the retail industry and then Emt. I finally realize that pta is where I want to go and dedicated to pursue. I’m planning on attending pta program at Miami Dade College. I love your videos Thank you so much!!

[@AntonioSanson]

Way cool! Let me know how that goes and if you get in!

[@williamkirk1902]

Antonio Sanson thank you! bro I appreciate it

[@zay_lay30]

I dont have chickens with me right now, but i'll give a big like!!! Haha awesome video

[@Wake06Forest]

I was waiting for you to say overbooking lol. Hate it, deff hurts the patient experience.

[@caitlinherzog4115]

You guys are hilarious! I graduated with my PTA degree last year but have been struggling with the test and studying. So I got a tech job and love it! First time working in the field and all the patients have been amazing. I work with the about 95 % of the time lol. Just have to keep studying until I really feel ready. Loved all ur videos. Oh and.." Its hurts when I do this" lol

[@pajamaman4832]

I hope you pass and work as a PTA. It's much better working in the position you were educated in. Keep it going.

[@julies-f1920]

What a great video! As a PT, I tremendously thank you for this! May I reference this video to my patients???

[@AntonioSanson]

Thanks a lot! That is no problem at all. Share the wealth! Lol

[@pajamaman4832]

LOL at the OP clinic impressions...

[@jessyvanhorn9143]

This video makes me so excited to continue my education in Physical Therapy! I received my BFA in dance teaching and absolutely love it, but my unfortunately surviving financially is near impossible. I shadowed a couple PTAs and realized my passion to become a PT. I love working with people and making a difference in their life. I’m excited to learn more and help people. Do you guys have advice for taking the GRE and what a recommended score would be? Also could you talk about some different specializations within PT. Sports, pediatrics, Parkinson’s (balance), etc?

[@nicoleross6624]

I am actually in the same boat! I also have my bachelors in dance but am feeling like I need more financially, its so hard to make enough teaching dance. I'm just starting to take my pre reqs to apply for PT school, is going to be a long road but I'm hoping it will be worth it, good luck on your journey!

[@haroldfrometa1246]

Good video!!!!,Juriprudence for pta? Pls

[@AntonioSanson]

It’s on my to do list lol I’ve been getting asked about it a lot Not sure when we will get to it but thanks for the recommendation!

[@caribaez5711]

Physical therapy is pretty cool.. (: I would love physical therapy, family medicine. I will be a registered nurse. ❤️❤️🎉🙏🏻👏

[@NN-zy3oy]

Is there a way to contact you guys if we have questions?

[@alyssahopkins1799]

I’m a PTA in AZ and was harassed and discriminated against. I haven’t been able to get an interview with another clinic since they terminated me for not doing something my mentors told me could affect my future in the field. I want to know if there’s any way to find out if they blacklisted me. I already emailed an old teacher. I don’t even have my 2,000 direct supervision hours yet( I’m probably 200 short).

[@michaliskleimenidis]

I dislike when a patient doesn't fully recover from a knee/hip replacement or a stroke. I like when they are finally free from pain and can stand up and walk by themselves. My payment is their smile.

[@aBatwoman]

Thinking about getting into PT I might shadow someone and see. I live around retired people so it would be very secure for me. Not sure what school to go to. I work full time. Maybe online school on my days off..

[@Agnes135]

You can't just do an online degree for PT lol, it's a specialised medical profession that requires plenty of in-person experience

[@Actasif88]

“Dark dreadful dreary dead end job for the rest of your life” lol!

[@matt_elam_media]

A PT will spend half of his or her career doing notes (IEs, REs, and SOAPs). That's just the way the industry is right now, if you are an insurance-based practice. Cash-based would be luxurious but not always realistic.

[@shaimaabrahim8514]

If you are someone who wants to get into physical therapy and don’t for some reason, what do you think is the closest career to it? What would be the second option for someone who really likes physical therapy?

[@AntonioSanson]

Occupational therapy is very similar I think just from what I’ve seen. Maybe consider checking that field out

[@caribaez5711]

Rehab nursing..🤔

[@prapullakumar1700]

Completed my Bachelor's of physiotherapy course in India ,am I eligible to do practice in USA

[@realchristiangarcia]

You would to complete a Doctor of Physical Therapy program.

[@luemoua2640]

Hey Antonio I am currently a senior majoring in kinesiology. I am 20 turning 21 soon. I feel like I am running out of time with choosing my career path. What could I do? Because I feel like I'm wasting my life. Love the videos btw!!

[@AntonioSanson]

You are still young! What are you thinking about doing? what do you enjoy?

[@luemoua2640]

@@AntonioSanson I am thinking and planning on going into the masters program here or try getting in the applied neuromechanics research group. What I like about this major is that I will get to help people out in the future. I also like the research part of the major. I want to also develop plans on helping the elderly with everyday motor skills.

[@shaimaabrahim8514]

Another question, so I heard that it really helps with your application that gets you into the program if you already have at least a part time job in the medical field. What are some recommendations?? Some jobs that I can get the certificate for in a manner of months?? Other than CNA?

[@AntonioSanson]

A great job to get to help you get into the program would be a Physical Therapy Technician or Physical Therapy Aide. These jobs only require a GED or high school diploma and you have to be over the age of 18. This can be a great way to improve your chances of getting into the program if you work in this job.

[@shaimaabrahim8514]

You are the best Antonio!!!! And WHAT??!! I can do those stuff with my high school diploma?? I had no idea, that is awesome!!! I appreciate you sooooo much

[@nallelymucino4173]

ugh writing notes 😩😩

[@mycatisromeo]

I need a job in PTA to get health care for myself. I have severe low back pain and sciatica pain with no health care. The irony is I don't think I can work in PTA with back pain, and my back pain cant get better without health care. Suicide is actually looking like a viable option at age 39. As she said, the insurance is messing up the financial aspect of medical care. The profit motive. America's economy is in big trouble. I can see most medical professionals having to take a forced 25% pay cut in the next 10 years so the money can go to the bureaucrats and the Elites. It'll get to a point where nurses will be kissing the ass of the AMA to make $40,000 a year which wont come close to keeping up with the cost of living.

[@kishasmith8307]

“ Dark dreadful dreary dead end job for the rest of your life “ thanks lol
