thank you for watching!

You don't know how happy I am, I never thought my question would ever be in one of your videos! (I'm the one who asked if you ever regret this major). Believe it or not, I have been BINGE watching your videos ever since my senior year in high school (I watch you all the way from Jordan 🇯🇴). I always have been interested in this major and finding your KZread channel was such a blessing, you made me even more excited about being a physical therapist in the future. I know physical therapy is misunderstood sometimes, and people where I live, or let's say in the middle east don't know what physiotherapists really do, they always say we only "massage" people which is so not true! I hope one day I can prove them wrong. Thank you again for being honest while answering my question, and for giving me the positive vibes I needed. I really hope you will be happy and fulfilled with your career in the near future! 💞💞💞💞

girl omg I'm Middle Eastern too! I am studying in PT school right now in America! I'm in my third week and don't know any Middle Eastern physical therapists. I am lowkey worried about the job search and if I will regret my major when I go back to my country! Are you in PT school?

@@layanb.6684 omg thats amazing!!! one of my goals is to complete studying masters in the united states, it has always been a dream!! 🥹 don’t worry about the job thing rn! but i’m telling you, rn physical therapy is getting more appreciated in the middle east AS IT SHOULD, and people are more aware of what we are doing and what our major is all about, and the jobs are pretty easy to find, especially in egypt and gulf countries. ( كل حدا رزقته مكتوبة بالاخير وين ما كان) 🤍 and yesss, i’m majoring in physical therapy in Jordan!!

Thank you Kristen for all of your insight into becoming a DPT. For all of you DPT majors, being a very close friend to a PT for years, it is very possible to make as much as other Doctorial professions in the medical field and even more, if and when you decide to own your own practice! I would advise working for some years under and with other DPT professional before ever branching out, but it is an excellent goal to strive for.

I just got accepted into DPT school and that is my ultmate goal

There’s also grad student fb groups for clinicals. Sometimes you can sublet other people’s apartments while they’re also on clinical and kinda borrow their place! This helps to accommodate that short term because you just temporarily take their place and they do the same thing somewhere else.

Hey Kristen! I love your videos! I’m a first year at UCF and I was wondering if you could make a video abt preparation for clinicals! What you think is helpful for going into the first one?

Hey kayla I’m in ucf too almost finishing my bachelor in health science then apply for Pre-physical therapy program. Good luck

Also if you add time stamps that would be really helpful

If you don't do gentle PROM on a person in ICU who is in a coma say due to a head injury this person will contract. 5 reps is all that is needed. Just go easy. A seasoned therapist will know how far to go (based on end feel) to safely perform it and to avoid any injury.

i agree! but that is something that can be carried out by nursing along with proper positioning. its not a skilled service for PT to be providing. there aren’t enough PTs in the hospital as is and they need to make sure the patients they are seeing really need skilled PT services. hope this helps!
