WELCOME TO PLAN J
This is More Than PT
For a lot of people, becoming a physical therapist is the endgame. For me, it’s just the beginning. I want to one day use my position as a physical therapist to help not just my patients, but the next generation of hopeful clinicians. I especially want to help those who don’t have a cookie cutter journey to pursuing physical therapy, just like I don’t. That’s why I’ve documented my experience– so that I can not only give advice based on my journey to becoming a physical therapist, but also encourage you to find the joy in your own journey. Because it’s not just the destination that matters, it’s how you get there.
Hiiiii. In February of 2025, I accepted a spot in a physical therapy program, and now that my application journey is complete, I want to share my timeline of events to give you an idea of how long the process can take.
