Matthew Said:

Physical Therapy or Occupational Therapy?

We Answered:

Hey!
I love your question! Funny thing is, I've just recently realized what field I actually want to work in with Physical Therapy. (I'm a high school senior and I'll be going to college next year)
I want to work in Pediatric Physical Therapy. Specifically kids with Cerebral Palsy. If any job ever looked rewarding, it's this one.
Anyway, if you want to go with sports, you should start of with the degree I plan on getting. For my undergraduate, I plan on pursuing a degree in Athletic Training. Which is basically learning how to prevent injuries in athletes and how to make their injuries heal, etc.
Occupational Therapy is kind of cool but I much prefer Physical Therapy.
