In this episode, we explore how physical therapy combines science, compassion, and career inspiration. We sit down inside a local clinic to discuss what it’s like to help people regain movement, why internships matter, and how students are gaining hands-on experience in healthcare before they even graduate high school.
This episode is all about movement—of the body, of careers, and of purpose.
