Let’s get physical this week with physical therapist and pelvic floor expert Julie Sarton! If you love the idea of helping people through the power of physical touch and are ready for some heavy-duty medical-based academic training to do it, then come along for this very cool job interview. Julie gives you the ins and outs of what it takes to get into physical therapy (PT) school, academic requirements, personality traits, what referrals help you and so much more. From there she will lay out the how you can choose your area of specialty and how you can become an expert in that area--letting you know along the way how incredibly diverse this field is and what physical therapists can be involved with in the healing process. Julie is a pelvic floor expert who has seen this specialty grow by leaps and bounds in her many years in practice. She gives you not only a really good idea of what it takes to become a physical therapist, but also how intensively challenging and rewarding the ongoing professional journey can be. And for all you over-achievers, Julie tells us about the motivation required to have your own PT business and grow it successfully.
