Appropriate Questions to ask a PT

[Lacey203]

I'm meeting with a PT that my Uncle works with tomorrow to ask him a few questions as I'm still not sure if PT is for me. What are some typical/appropriate questions that I should ask? Is it too soon to ask him if he is willing to allow me to shadow him? Is it appropriate to ask him what university he got his degree at, what his typical daily routine at the office is like, etc.?

Hey, Lacey203. Take a look at this .pdf file. Should help you a bit!

No, it's not to early to ask him if you could shadow him. Ask him after the conversation, like "I'd really be interested in shadowing you to know more about what physical therapy is..." or something in that manner. You can go ahead and ask him where he graduated and what the daily routine is like. All those are perfectly appropriate questions to ask a Physical Therapist!

Good luck in deciding!
