C. As America’s older demographic grows and injuries keep occuring, one
reasonably infers, so will the demand for rehabilitation in every
demographic and sport.
Transition: This brings me to my second point.
II. Main Point 2. As America’s health care system grows and gains more
knowledge, so does the nation’s need for physical therapists.
A. Citing a variety of supportive studies, Summit Health wrote a imformitivve
artcial on the importance of this profession. “Physical therapists help people
live healthier, more active lives by providing rehabilitation services that
meet their specific needs. Physical therapy (PT) is a vital component in
preventive health care, and recovery encourages overall well-being and
reduces the risk of chronic disease”
B. 1. First, there is multiple types of physical therapy professions such
as: Pediatric physical therapy Geriatric physical therapy,
Orthopedic physical therapy, Cardiopulmonary physical
COMS 101
therapy, Vestibular rehabilitation, and Neurological physical
therapy
2. Second, some of the detailed benefits of physical therapy,
Anybody who has gone through an injury or has a type of physical
disability or limitation can benefit greatly from going to physical
therapy, as it supports the whole body healing itself through many
different corrective exercises. "People who have pain or issues
performing normal activities like walking or climbing stairs should seek
the advice of a physical therapist," Dr. Mitacchione notes. "Even those
who experience pain performing higher-level recreational activities or
sports should see a therapist before the issue worsens."
3. Third, “Working with a physical therapist for short term will not
only reduce pain, but it will also help improve overall strength and
ability and reduce the risk for injuries, helping you maintain a higher
quality of life.
4. .Fourth, This generation and society is growing fast and with more
and more ways to avoid such strenuous surgery’s. Physical therapy has
been seen to reverse injuries and to also prevent individuals frome
getting in some cases life altering surgery’s
Transition: This brings me to my final point.
III. Main Point 3. The Physical Therapy field is a great opertunite to minister to
the general public.
A. God shows in many aspects of his charater that he cares for his childrens
well-being and he knows the hearts of those who are going through
brokenness through their physical being.
B. God values our love for others (John 13:34–35; 15:12–17; Rom. 12:10;
16:16; 1 John 4:7-21) The Lord has called us to be caring and empathetic to
others and with this profession we can show love ot those by loving them
through healping them physically
C. Finally, God values our compassion for others, and this includes the poor
and oppressed and the sick (Matt. 25:31-46).1
Transition: This brings me to my conclusion.
