As physical therapists, we work with our patients closely. Close enough that we are required to have personal contact with them. We literally are ‘physical’ therapists. Just like a surgeon is to his hands, PTs also value the use of their hands. We use them all the time, from the time a patient walks in to assisting them in the treatment area, to palpation, to assessing functional movements, to mobilizing tissues, to giving feedback up until the patient walks out of the room. Without our hands, we are held powerless and useless. Working with our hands is a gratifying job especially when you get to touch other people, (ehem! hihi) particularly their lives. |
