Recreational Therapists

I am an avid sports fanatic, both as a spectator and a participant. I chose kinesiology with an emphasis in athletic training to become a physical therapist specifically for athletes. This career will give me a chance to help people and make a difference in their lives, just like what my physical therapist did for me when I incurred a serious injury to my knee while in high school.
