Did you know some of the world’s best flutes are custom-crafted in Shirley, Massachusetts? Did you know they are made in the same building as Whole Health Solutions & Sports Performance by Burkart Flutes & Piccolos? I’ll be honest—I did not know any of that, and I don’t even know what a piccolo is!!
So what is the point? Great question.
I learned this little piece of information and history from a patient the other day, and it got me thinking about why I love being a Physical Therapist. I have met thousands of people over the past 23 years (yes, I am old). For much of that career, my mindset was that these people needed my help, and that’s why I do this every day. And that is very much still true today.
However, over the past few years, I have realized that I get as much from my patients as they get from me. They have provided me with endless interesting conversations, knowledge, stories, references, and more. They have served as a sounding board during good and bad times. Over two decades, I have created a network and community of people who have made me a better person and physical therapist.
After some reflection, I think that this is what I love about being a physical therapist. During those years that I helped people without expecting anything in return, I received a massive return that has compounded exponentially.
