It really does make all of the difference. You’re a physical therapist! Do you practice in the US? Originally I went to college to be a PT.
I feel that. I give so much credit to my SLP & audiologist with their guidance and education in speech comprehension and pronunciation growing up as a child with severe-to-profound post-lingual hearing loss.
Without nostr:npub1ymt2j3n8tesrlr0yhaheem6yyqmmwrr7actslurw6annls6vnrcslapxnz's SLP profession, I would’ve been stuck with having to either communicate via dry-erase marker and white board, very slurred deaf-speak, or learn to sign in ASL limiting myself to a small, isolated community within my hometown.
We’ve come a long way!

Hardest achievement I ever worked for in my entire life. All I care about is that it made my parents proud.
While I received my doctorate in physical therapy after finishing the 3-year DPT program, I’m currently in the process of obtaining my license to practice in the US.
My licensure exam takes place at the end of April, so fingers crossed I’ll be practicing by the start of this summer.
& interesting! Do you have some background in fitness, healthcare, or the medical field?
My man! Congratulations to you. I bet your parents are so proud of you.
I have a CSCS, if you’re familiar. It’s through the National Strength and Conditioning Association. I’m looking to go to veterinary school in 2026/2027 but I figured the CSCS was a way for me to work with athletes without the doctoral program, if you catch my drift.
A good PT is a miracle worker. My guy fixed my knee up in a way no ortho could.
Thank you! I appreciate your kind words, good sir.
And yes I am familiar with CSCS. Many of my colleagues either came into the DPT program with a CSCS certification or were working real hard to obtain one. And lemme tell you, those guys really knew their stuff.
I have mad respect for y’all putting in, the knowledge you have, to work at the gym & educating your athletes alongside with them.
Those who put in minimum effort just talking the talk, but not actually walking the walk, really grind my gears because, at the end of the day, without that first-hand experience in the treatment/exercise plan you give them, are you really giving them the highest quality of /support? No.
We need guys like you for both the pre-rehab and the aftermath of our treatment. So all in all, we all work together and everyone wins. 🤙🏼
Man…no one ever knows what a CSCS is! Amazing!
I really love exercise + ex phys so I figured I had to monetize my knowledge if I could.
Would love to follow your journey through licensure so you should definitely post about what you’re doing. I’ll be on the lookout for your content
