I like the hybrid. I feel like it’s the best way to keep pitchers on the mound more and prevent multiple TJs per career

What about manual labor repetitive movement injuries? Are these procedures unheard of in these instances?

Hey, Mike! This video was really interesting. As a junior in high school, I am looking into possible careers. Physical therapy caught my eye, because I have always been an active person, like sports, and don't like working at a desk all day. I know there are other paths you can take as a PT right? Sports teams, big companies, NASA (I assume NASA hires PTs for astronauts). As someone who doesn't know 100% what I want to do, I'm thinking that there are so many different paths you can take after school and you can work in many different fields. I guess what I'm thinking is, if I get a degree in exercise science and then go to PT school, there will be plenty of unique jobs out there in many different fields. Is that a fair assumption? Would you recommend exercise science for an undergrad?
