Job opportunity: How to become a physical therapist
Alan Morrell
About the job
Physical therapists help injured or ill people improve movement and manage pain. They provide methods for patients to improve their quality of life through, for example, exercise and lots of hands-on work. “We are ‘movement experts’ in a healthcare setting,” said Chelsea Burdick, owner and clinical director of Burd Physical Therapy, which has an office on South Winton Road in Brighton and a new office in Fairport.
The work involves helping to diagnose the problem and developing an extensive treatment plan to combat the pain. That could include exercising and breathing techniques. “Patient education is a very important component,” Burdick said. “We give them an understanding of what we’re doing…and how to reduce or manage pain.”
