The American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) recorded a video providing a sampling of the wide variety of ways that physical therapists (PT) and physical therapist assistants (PTA) help their patients restore and improve motion to achieve long-term quality of life: http://www.apta.org/YouCanBeMe/
The APTA also asked several young physical therapists what motivated them to enter the field. See what they had to say, here: http://www.apta.org/ProspectiveStudents/WhyIChosePT/.
