Hello Isabella,
As we stepped into 2020, the average yearly earnings for physical therapists in the United States stood around $91,010, which breaks down to about $3,500.38 every fortnight. Remember, this number can fluctuate. Looking back on my journey, I've found that working hand-in-hand with physical therapists can be incredibly gratifying.
Helping patients regain their mobility, control their pain, and improve their overall functionality has given me a deep sense of satisfaction. The joy of understanding the human body's workings and aiding people in their healing process to regain mobility and functionality is, for me, the crowning glory of this profession.
However, it's essential to recognize the hurdles that come with the territory, like handling hefty workloads and dealing with administrative duties. These elements demand a strong resolve and unwavering commitment. Yet, the joy of making a positive difference in people's lives far surpasses these challenges, making the journey into physical therapy both rewarding and meaningful.
