I apologize if this is a silly question, but is athletic inclination necessary for this profession?
I am going to volunteer at a physical therapy practice, and the DPT told me that as a volunteer I could assist with the exercises the patients go through. Well in connecting the dots does that mean DPTs need to be flexible, athletic, etc in order to perform the exercises with the patients? I'm sure I can get the grades and do well on the GREs, but I'm definitely not gifted in flexibility![:(]( "Frown :(")
And...
Do you have to be athletic for DPT?
