No.  Schools in Arkansas that offer PT are Arkansas State University and University of Central Arkansas.  There is a complete list of accredited schools on the APTA website at: http://www.apta.org/AM/Template.cfm?section=PT_Programs&template=/aptaapps/accreditedschools/acc_schools_map.cfm&process=3&type=PT

The standards are changing.  Very recently, you simply needed a Bachelors degree in Physical Therapy.  Today, the new standard is the Masters of Physical Therapy, but by the time you get through the program, they will have moved up to requiring the Ph.D. in Physical Therapy.  You've got a lot of education ahead of you!

18D. but since I'm a female, I can't do that. So....I'd say 68WN9. That's a physical therapy assistant. Or....92R. Parachute rigger. Orr...whatever EOD is. That would be one bad ass job.\n\nI kinda like being a 91J, though. *ahem* 68J,now.\n\n\nOr since you wanna be a PT, a 65B...that's a PT. That's what I'm hoping to be once I finish all my school. Look at the Army's PT school program. It's through Baylor Univ., but all the classes are held at Ft. Sam in San Antonio.

I would start with physical therapy departments at the hospitals in your area.  Some hospitals offer classes about proper body mechanics.  also the educational department at some hospitals might have information/classes on caring for people with Alzheimers.

Be aware of ITT Tech. Their commercials are very misleading and you are unlikely to get a job as they show on the commercials without another degree from another college. If you read the small print on the commercials you'll notice that those students went to ITT tech, then earned a bachelor and even masters other places. Be sure that they are regionally accredited.

If you are going into PT school, why not get a job as a PT aide/tech or even in the front office?  Since you are required to get a certain number of hours in a PT setting and you could always benefit from more experience.  You will also be able to get great references and connections (think - future job after PT school).  Send your resume' out to local hospitals, clinics, SNFs, etc - don't wait for an ad in the paper.

http://www.ceitraining.com/\n\nthis school which has a website, above, is located in Lincoln, RI.  I know someone who went there and they raved about how well the school was and placement for work after graduation was at a high percentage.  He went to school for medical assistance and works for a health clinic that does rehabilitation for injured workers, under the workman's comp divsion of RI.  Good Luck

Physical therapists provide services that help restore function, improve mobility, relieve pain, and prevent or limit permanent physical disabilities of patients suffering from injuries or disease. They restore, maintain, and promote overall fitness and health. Their patients include accident victims and individuals with disabling conditions such as low-back pain, arthritis, heart disease, fractures, head injuries, and cerebral palsy.\n\nTherapists examine patients’ medical histories and then test and measure the patients’ strength, range of motion, balance and coordination, posture, muscle performance, respiration, and motor function. They also determine patients’ ability to be independent and reintegrate into the community or workplace after injury or illness. Next, physical therapists develop plans describing a treatment strategy, its purpose, and its anticipated outcome. Physical therapist assistants, under the direction and supervision of a physical therapist, may be involved in implementing treatment plans with patients. Physical therapist aides perform routine support tasks, as directed by the therapist. \n\nTreatment often includes exercise for patients who have been immobilized and lack flexibility, strength, or endurance. Physical therapists encourage patients to use their own muscles to increase their flexibility and range of motion before finally advancing to other exercises that improve strength, balance, coordination, and endurance. The goal is to improve how an individual functions at work and at home.\n\nPhysical therapists also use electrical stimulation, hot packs or cold compresses, and ultrasound to relieve pain and reduce swelling. They may use traction or deep-tissue massage to relieve pain. Therapists also teach patients to use assistive and adaptive devices, such as crutches, prostheses, and wheelchairs. They also may show patients exercises to do at home to expedite their recovery.\n\nAs treatment continues, physical therapists document the patient’s progress, conduct periodic examinations, and modify treatments when necessary. Besides tracking the patient’s progress, such documentation identifies areas requiring more or less attention.\n\nPhysical therapists often consult and practice with a variety of other professionals, such as physicians, dentists, nurses, educators, social workers, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, and audiologists.\n\nSome physical therapists treat a wide range of ailments; others specialize in areas such as pediatrics, geriatrics, orthopedics, sports medicine, neurology, and cardiopulmonary physical therapy.\n\nMedian annual earnings of physical therapists were $60,180 in May 2004. The middle 50 percent earned between $50,330 and $71,760. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $42,010, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $88,580. Median annual earnings in the industries employing the largest numbers of physical therapists in May 2004 were:\n\nHome health care services $64,650 \nNursing care facilities 61,720 \nOffices of physicians 61,270 \nGeneral medical and surgical hospitals 60,350 \nOffices of other health practitioners 60,130

Physical Therapy uses modalities (Ultrasound, heat, ice, electrical stimulation) as well as exercises and manual techniques to aid in tissue healing or to decrease pain and prevent problems from happening again.  PT's are usually very involved in educating their patients about the condition and advising of different ways to do things or how to change the ways we do things to prevent problems or help the conditions that are already present.  PT's will usually do an interview with you to talk about your medical history, what is bothering you and how it happened (if there was something that you know caused it).  They will also ask you what your goals are for physical therapy, what do you want to accomplish by coming to the sessions.  They will also do measurements of range of motion and strength testing as well as special tests for the specific joint or to help them confirm a problem that they think you might have.   I hope this has helped.

This is an interesting question because there are different licensing laws in each state and in some cases counties. Most states require a certain amount of credit hours from an accredited school. Some of these credit hours require supervised hands on clinic work. If there is an online massage therapy program available, I would look into its credentials and accredidations. I am currently a massage therapy student and I can't see how you could go to school online and have the skills to make massage therapy a career.
