It's time to empower the profession! great content! 👍👍👍

[@MaxIlagan]

I can’t watch this enough!!!! Biggest challenge for me as a PT student is time management! Everyday exams sa EMVM makes it impossible to study in advance, but it’s also that which develops our grit. 💯💯💯

[@audreygravador7760]

Max Ilagan 😭 I remembered my barkada studying for 4 exams in a day with little sleep as well! Now, we’re all licensed PTs! One exam in pathology was the funniest and most memorable kay nag brownout in the middle of the exam!

The most challenging part (or worst part) of being a PT student is that even my own family thinks that "manghihilot" rako once I become a licensed PT. Maka walag gana huhu 😢

[@audreygravador7760]

Jyle Kester Mabao Don’t stop educating them! The more we educate about it, the more this stigma will die down eventually. ☺️ There are so many specialties like Sports Rehab for para athletes (PWD ATHLETES) where your perspective will really change. It’s very empowering and humbling.

same here bahala ra na sila. Everything will be worth it :))

[@chenamoc]

The Physical Therapy profession in the Philippines is neglected and underrated. 😞 As much as we want to have a DPT degree, spending almost 1 Million is not practical when working here in our country because of the very low entry-level salary of PTs. Here in the hospital, we are working regular shifts while in close contact with patients in spite of the ongoing ECQ in Metro Manila. We are always in close contact with patients which makes social distancing impossible during treatment, and still, it seems our profession is insignificant to the Philippine healthcare system.

Im a PT student and loves self expression thru tattoos and paintings, i have lots of tattoos, most of them are invisible with clothes, but i have 2 visible ones, is it gonna be a problem after I graduate?

[@audreygravador7760]

Good to know that I found someone on youtube who love self- expression through art! I love painting as well! As for me, it really depends on the institution you want to work in. But I have colleagues with visible tattoos and I can see that there was no prejudice about that in the place I worked in! What they hired for are your skills as a clinician and not the tattoos you wear. 😊

Thank you so much for this! I also apologize for not putting out my sources in the description box. I made sure that the videos I used are either creative commons license or for fair use only :) Videos with a "cc" label let others distribute, adapt their videos as long as they put "credit to:" (eg. background music, videos that have cc labels on them, pictures) As for fair use, it happens when you use any material for a "transformative" purpose. A perfect example would be reaction videos, parodies, quoting a few lines. I hope this helps you!

[@audreygravador7760]

@@khabibvillas1842 na check mo na ba yung prospectus ng PT sa school mo kasi depende talaga yan if kulang na subjects po. Then after checking if how long ka ma dedelay, ask yourself if worth it ba kung magshift ka. Pero if gusto mo pa rin magshift kahit 3 more years kung sakali ang kulang, then go for it. Pero para sa akin, parang mas wide yung opportunities ngayon sa mga nurses than PTs po based on my observation. Pero you can always start planning to shift by checking how long are you going back to school for.
