Muscle Career 

        A physical therapist is a career that has to do with muscles. If you are interested in the human body and how muscles work and interact with each other to help the human body function, then a career in physical therapy will be ideal. The things that we learned about muscles in anatomy and physiology will help in being a physical therapist because it provides a good foundation. We learned about flexion, extension, and the 12 muscle principles. 

       To become a physical therapist, first, you must earn a physical therapists degree. The length of the programs are about 3 years and in those 3 years, you will be covering some if not all these topics: biology/anatomy, cellular histology, physiology, exercise physiology, biomechanics, kinesiology, neuroscience, pharmacology, pathology, behavioral sciences, communication, ethics/values, management sciences, finance, sociology, clinical reasoning, evidence-based practice, cardiovascular and pulmonary, endocrine and metabolic, and musculoskeletal. 80% of your time will be spent in the classroom and then 20% will be spent getting clinical experience. A bachelor's degree is also required to enter the program.
