r/physicaltherapy is a subreddit with 100k members. The most common kinds of discussions are advice requests and solution requests, and the community frequently discusses pt, struggling, looking for, new grad, and career, and they frequently recommend/review work clothes, dress shoes, and scrubs.
If you are not a licensed PT, PTA, student counterpart or other healthcare professional please do not post here. This is a sub for practicing physical therapists to discuss cases, research, old and new tricks, or other therapy-relevant topics.
Requests for advice or education regarding your personal health issues will be removed and you may be banned. These questions should be discussed directly with your physical therapist.
