Call a Physical Therapist
You get up from the sofa and - ow! Back pain takes your breath away. Do you reach for the pain pills? No! Call a physical therapist instead!
More and more, physical therapy, or PT, is a common go-to for treating aches and pains. A physical therapist can treat almost any injury to give a patient a better quality of life. When it comes to treatment, one size does not fit all. A physical therapist personalizes a treatment plan based on their observations and the patient’s concerns. The goal is to help injured or ill people improve movement and manage pain, so they can live life to the fullest. These therapists work with patients who suffer from back or neck injuries. They help people recover from broken bones and surgeries as well as work- or sports-related injuries. Physical therapists also teach people how to stay in shape and prevent further injuries. Their hands-on (动手的) therapy includes strengthening or stretching exercises, ice or heat and more.
No one can become a physical therapist without getting a doctor of physical therapy degree. After completing it, a person must pass a professional license exam before beginning to practice. Further, being a physical therapist can be mentally and physically draining because of the hands-on, personalized patient care required. A successful physical therapist needs to have great communication skills and an eye for detail. They should also be creative problem solvers as well as resourceful.
For those looking for a satisfying career, PT is one to consider. The demand for the profession is growing faster than that of many other careers. Private clinics and hospitals hire physical therapists. Sports facilities and professional sports teams also employ them. Therapists may work in skilled nursing facilities or visit patients in their own homes. If someone wants to see the world, they may want to become a travel physical therapist.

Since the late 1990s, Dr Daniel Tanita has been engaged in volunteer dental work for children in his hometown, a remote small country. His devotion and effort have not gone unnoticed.
When Tanita first started his volunteer work, he found himself in less-than-ideal conditions. The lack of proper dental facilities meant that he had to conduct dental checkups in a cramped(狭窄的) closet. With only one small chair and no windows, it was far from an ideal environment for providing dental care. The absence of windows resulted in the absence of natural light, creating a dim atmosphere within the small space. The lack of fresh air circulation made the environment stuffy(闷热的) and hot. Despite these limitations, Tanita persisted his volunteer work.
Over the years, Tanita’s passion for making a difference in the lives of children in need grew stronger and stronger. He witnessed firsthand the impact that early dental work and education could have on improving the overall well-being of these children. This realization fueled his determination to create a better environment for providing dental care.
The idea of building a permanent dental clinic in a local elementary school took shape in Tanita’s mind. He recognized the importance of having a dedicated(专用的) space where children could receive the dental care they were desperately in need of. With the support of a few other volunteers who shared his vision, Tanita became the driving force behind the clinic’s construction.
The project was not without its challenges. Securing funding, finding a suitable place within the school, and dealing with various related considerations required a great deal of effort and perseverance. However, Tanita’s firm devotion and passion for making a positive impact on the lives of these children motivated him to overcome all these issues.

Sally was only eight years old when she heard Mommy and Daddy talking about her little brother, Georgy. He was very sick and the doctors told them that only a very expensive operation could save his life. However, his family could not afford it. Sally heard Daddy say sadly, “Only a miracle (奇迹) can save him now.”
Sally went to her bedroom and found her piggy bank. She shook all the money out on the floor and counted it carefully. Then she put all the money in her pocket and made her way to a drugstore (药店). She waited patiently for the storekeeper to give her attention, but he was busy talking to another well-dressed man. Sally cleared her throat. No good. Then she took out a coin from her pocket and threw it onto the glass counter (柜台). That did it!
“What do you want?” the storekeeper asked angrily. “Can’t you see I’m talking to my brother?” “Well, I want to talk to you about my brother,” Sally answered back bravely. “He’s sick, and I want to buy a miracle.” “I beg your pardon,” said the storekeeper.
“My Daddy says only a miracle can save him now, so how much does a miracle cost?”
“We don’t sell miracles here, little girl. I can’t help you.”
“Listen, I have the money to pay for it. Just tell me how much it costs.”
Then that well-dressed man asked, “What kind of miracle does your brother need?” “I don’t know,” Sally answered. Tears started to rush into her eyes. “I just know he’s really sick and Mommy says he needs an operation. But my family doesn’t have enough money, so I have brought all my money. I love my little brother.” “How much do you have?” asked the well-dressed man. “A dollar and eleven cents,” Sally answered. “And that’s all the money I have.”
