Book excerpt: Becoming a Physical Therapist has rapidly become one of the most sought after careers due to several factors. As a result, the admission process into Physical Therapy programs has become more competitive and fierce each and every year. Sometimes schools receive hundreds of applicants for just a small percentage of spots. Therefore it is imperative you have your application as strong as possible when you are submitting your application. Applying to Physical Therapy School is an intense process and without any help it can feel like an impossible one. In this publication I go over the entire process of applying and I include the 10 essential things that prospective students have used in order to get accepted. It will show you how to: Use PTCAS Effectively, Utilize Program Open Houses, Prepare for the Interview Process, Look for GPA and GRE Weaknesses and Improve Them, and Strengthen Your Observation Hours.

Each chapter discusses my first time errors and the second time improvements thoroughly. I have included sample emails from myself to my target programs as well so that the reader gets a good idea of how to communicate. My goal with this publication is to help potential Physical Therapy students improve their applications from the beginning without them having to go through the process of not being selected.

Download or read book Regenerative Rehabilitation written by Sarah M. Greising and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-06-01 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This contributed volume presents the current state of research on regenerative rehabilitation across a broad range of neuro- and musculoskeletal tissues. At its core, the primary goal of regenerative rehabilitation is to restore function after damage to bones, skeletal muscles, cartilage, ligaments/tendons, or tissues of the central and peripheral nervous systems. The authors describe the physiology of these neuro- and musculoskeletal tissue types and their inherent plasticity. The latter quality is what enables these tissues to adapt to mechanical and/or chemical cues to improve functional capacity. As a result, readers will learn how regenerative rehabilitation exploits that quality, to trigger positive changes in tissue function. Combining basic, translational, and clinical aspects of the topic, the book offers a valuable resource for both scientists and clinicians in the regenerative rehabilitation field.
