Should You Become a PT? Weighing the Pros, Cons and Alternatives for PTAs

In this episode of the Stretch Mobility Coaching Podcast, I’m diving into a question that I know is on the minds of many Physical Therapist Assistants: Is it worth it to go back to school and become a Physical Therapist? As someone who has successfully created my own path outside of traditional physical therapy roles, I’m here to break down the critical differences between PT and PTA positions, including the burnout factors, emotional stress, and financial implications that come with each.

If you’re a PTA wondering whether advancing your career through additional schooling is the right move, or if there are other paths worth exploring, this episode is for you. I’ll not only compare the responsibilities and potential burnout between PTs and PTAs, but I’ll also evaluate the financial return on investment of becoming a PT. Plus, I’ll share some exciting alternatives, like the Stretch Mobility Coach Certification, that can help you achieve career advancement, fulfillment, and financial freedom without the high costs and stress.

Tune in as I help you figure out whether pursuing a PT degree is the right move, or if there’s a better path that aligns with your career goals. I also invite you to take advantage of a free 15-minute career discovery call, where I’ll personally help you navigate your next steps. Whether you’re looking to stay in the field, shift gears, or expand your skillset, this episode is packed with valuable insights to help you make an informed decision.

So hit play, and let’s take control of your career together!
