What Are The Most Challenging Aspects Of Working As A Physiotherapist?

Hey guys, in this video I discuss some of the more challenging aspects of working as a physiotherapist and how you can overcome these when working.

If you would like to skip the video, have a read of the points made down below:

1) Emotional Stress

Physiotherapists often deal with vulnerable patients who are working to overcome significant health obstacles. The patient might have been through a traumatic accident or a prolonged illness.

Connecting with individuals in this way through the treatment process can often place a significant emotional strain on the physical therapist.

Furthermore the patient might also be in pain while trying to complete their physio, placing additional strain on the relationship between physio and patient.

2) Physical Demands

A physio is often tasked with physically supporting the patient as they complete their therapy. They can be required to lift patients out of their beds and help support them as they walk during their treatment.

Physios are on their feet throughout the treatment phase, guiding the patient to achieve their physical health objectives. And this can often mean you are tired and sore after a long working day.

3) Long Hours

Long working hours come with the territory for physical therapy jobs. Like most medical areas, the job of the physiotherapist isn’t usually completed on a 9-to-5 basis.

They may have to begin work early in the morning to treat patients according to the patient’s unique schedule. And then stay late at night to complete the paperwork required.

4) CPD (Continuing Professional Development)

In addition to the day-to-day challenges of physical therapy jobs, it’s also important to consider the requirements of the role in the context of the care industry.

Because research in the physiotherapy field is ongoing, new developments are being made in the way treatments are completed. And this often means that physio's have to undergo new training and certifications to use the latest systems and apply the latest techniques in their practice.

Physio can be immensely challenging and yet highly rewarding for motivated individuals.
