I am aiming towards the goal of
being a physical therapist and it took me a while to think of how I could use
writing and communication in this field. Communication is necessary for pretty
much everything you do involving more than one person. In the field of physical
therapy you must not only communicate with your clients but you must also
communicate with your co-workers and staff so everyone can be on the same page.
You must let your clients know what you are doing to help them regain movement
in a certain body part and also let them know how they can help themselves
also. Writing is not used very much in the field of a physical therapist but it
is used in some cases. It is used when the doctor takes it upon himself to do
extra research to learn about certain areas of the body. I was told that
research is a big part of being a physical therapist because there is always
something new to learn about the human body. When doing research you usually
write down the new things that you saw or learned. Although both are needed there
is more communicating involved in physical therapy than writing.
