One additional thing to be concerned about in PT is the PHYSICAL aspect of it. One of my friends has a petite D who is a licensed PT but has gotten a lot of injuries because many of the patients she has worked on are VERY heavy/obese/overweight. It takes significant mass and strength to work with some/many of them, especially as many have very poor muscle tone and strength.
