Physical Therapy Could Be A Good Career Choice

If you're looking for a new career, you may want to consider physical therapy. With a large population of maturing baby-boomers, the demand for physical therapists is on the rise.

Dr. Tourage Rafeei started his clinic in Henrico back in 2001. His practice has grown to a staff of nine and a new office in the southside.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics says the demand for physical therapists is expected to grow 27% between 2006 and 2016. Most PT Assistants only need a two-year Associates Degree. Physical Therapists need a Bachelor's Degree and a Doctoral Degree.
