Sports Physical Therapy Jobs

Terri Said:

Anyone know a health profession that is involved with sports and also that there are a lot of jobs for?

We Answered:

Sports medicine is big. Orthopedists treat a lot of sports injuries. If you don't want to go thru medical school, physical therapy is fine, although most physical therapists see all sorts of patients.

Eduardo Said:

What are sports-related jobs in the health field? ?

We Answered:

A PT might help an athlete determine what is causing them to have pain when they throw a ball and how to rehabilitate it. They will often work with athletes who've had orthopedic surgery. OTs do not tend to work with athletes as much unless they've had hand related injuries.

As far as sports/health science, PTs and ATCs are pretty much it unless you actually want to get into orthopedic surgery or other medical physicians. Another consideration would be sports physiology research...working in a lab doing fitness research, etc.
