I wouldn’t trust anyone from a message board or chatroom :)and instead look at the local hospitals or nursing homes for volunteer opportunities within the physical therapy department.

That is awesome that you have a degree in exercise physiology! You sound as though you have an awesome background for the PT field. Just a word to the wise — I’ve heard that one must have a 4.0 in prereq courses which include physics and chemistry and perhaps even one’s overall gpa (grade point average). It is that competitive and it used to be said that it was even more competitive than medical school. Wishing you the best of luck in school! (And they say to try to form study groups when in school for review of the material.)
