 The majority of current physical therapists practice with master’s degrees, however, it is now widely expected that a doctoral degree should be obtained.  In 2007, there were 209 accredited physical therapy programs in the United States.  43 offered master’s programs and 143 offered doctoral degrees.
  After receiving a master’s or doctoral degree, a licensure exam must be taken in the state that therapist plans to practice physical therapy.
How to become a physical therapist,[object Object]
 These jobs can be physically demanding because therapists often have to stoop, kneel, crouch, lift, and stand for long periods. In addition, physical therapists move heavy equipment and lift patients or help them turn, stand, or walk.
In 2006, most full-time physical therapists worked a 40-hour week; some worked evenings and weekends to fit their patients’ schedules. About 1 in 5 physical therapists worked part time.,[object Object]
