While in PT school and early in my career, I began to notice most content on the internet about issues in the PT profession fell into one of two categories. 1.) Completely depressing, all doom and gloom, full of regret for entering the field in the first place, and even worse – PTs coming for each other in the comments section. Or 2.) Rose-colored glasses, ignoring the issues, offering “solutions”, or insinuating some PTs don’t really care about their patients because they’d like respect, fair wages, and reasonable caseloads.

My hope is this blog will be a place that finds the balance . . . Where we can talk about the issues without making you want to quit your job – maybe even offer some solutions in the process. Where we can talk about the good and highlight all the magnificent things we do as PTs. And finally, where we can have honest conversations about what we can do better to further us along.

I hope this becomes a community of support, motivation, ideas, and productive dialogue. It sounds cheesy and I’m obviously biased, but I truly believe this is one of the most valuable professions in healthcare. My goal is to make this blog a space deserving of all of you – the individuals that make up this unique, powerful, underrated, and amazing profession.
