Home | Online Degree Programs | Health Degrees | Physical Therapy Degrees Online Physical Therapy Degree ProgramsPeople who enjoy physical activity, helping others, and one-on-one professional relationships may find a career in physical therapy appealing. The physical therapy profession involves restoring limb functions, improving mobility, relieving pain, and preventing or limiting the physical disabilities of patients suffering from diseases and injuries. Physical therapists work with patients suffering from heart disease, low back pain, arthritis, cerebral palsy and injuries, until health and fitness is restored as much as possible.Physical therapy degree programs cover basic courses like social sciences, mathematics, anatomy, biology, chemistry, and physics. Subjects specific to physical therapy include biomechanics, neuro-anatomy, human growth and development, manifestations of disease, examination techniques, and therapeutic procedures. You'll also gain practical experience. Although an associate's degree is sometimes enough for entry-level positions, a bachelor's or master's is strongly recommended for those who want to make this a full-time career. The median salary of a physical therapist is around $60,000, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. Increasingly, physical therapy degree holders have begun finding work in less traditional settings, such as alternative medicine facilities, rehabilitation centers, and orthopedic centers. Demand for those with physical therapy training will rise as the healthcare industry continues to expand. Our Featured Education Partners: Penn Foster Schools
