As long as you have a good heart for other people’s well being, you’ll be a great therapist. I’ve met housekeeping workers who are more caring than nurses and doctors. Go figure.

Hi Eunice,
Thanks for the question. To become a PT, one needs a bachelor's degree and Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree. Most physical therapists hold a doctorate, which usually takes three years to complete. Master’s degrees take two years.

I hope this helps and good luck!
