Okay...I am majoring in Therapeutic Recreation and at the time i believed that it was similar to physical therapy....could someone clarify to me if they are indeed different.
If they are different, can someone explain to me how i can become a physical therapist such as what to get a bachelors degree in. Thank You
PT programs tend to require... Bio 1 & 2 Chem 1 & 2 Anat & Phys 1 & 2 Physics 1 & 2 Various social sciences like 2 Sociology courses, 2 psych courses, etc. The GRE general exam
Check out a school that has a program that you might consider and they will clearly outline their requirements.
Therapeutic recreation is a specific treatment, Physical therapy is a profession. That's the most fundemental difference between the two. Go to the APTA website and browse around for more specifics on what PT are and what they do.
