“Why we do what we do” ❤️
While doing my internship at State my senior year, I met a man who had many of the same health conditions my dad had. I became close with him and would ask questions about his diagnoses and what life looked like for him day to day. One thing he told me that has always stuck with me was:
“I wouldn’t be here today without physical therapy.”
That moment changed everything for me. It reminded me that physical therapy is about so much more than returning from injuries or getting athletes back to their sport. It’s also about helping people regain independence, confidence, and the ability to do everyday activities that so many take for granted.
That’s why I chose this profession — to help people keep living their lives fully, no matter what challenges they face. – Will
