She's perfect for this job, she's so great with kids! I don't have a problem with children, I love them. I just feel like I'd burst into tears seeing a child struggle.

I saw this video two years ago when I was uninspired and looking for a new career path. I just started PT School and I’m so incredibly happy. Thank you 💕😊

This is such a heartwarming video to watch. Being a physical therapist lets you experience significant and rewarding moments with the people you assist in your job.

When I lived in California I was on CCS and remember going to PT as a 3 year old. I remember my therapist Ada to this day! You guys are angels.

Gosh I wish this video was much longer! This is so sweet and heartwarming to watch especially as someone who is really looking into PT. I'm hoping to find an internship as a rising HS senior this year :)
