Physical therapists work to relieve pain and increase mobility for patients with disabilities or injuries. Working as a physical therapist requires graduating from an accredited educational program in physical therapy and obtaining a license. Many physical therapists have private practices and also contract out their services to healthcare facilities.
Most physical therapist healthcare training programs offer master's degrees and doctorates to prepare students for medical careers as physical therapists. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, nearly 6 out of 10 physical therapists work in hospitals or offices and have median annual earnings of $60,180.
