Answer 2

Well apta.org is the American physical therapy association's website and it can probably help you some. The APTA has a really good book called The American Physical Therapy Association Book of Body Maintenance and Repair. It has lots of info about how the body works and exercises to do if you have hurt yourself and need Physical Therapy. There is also a Magazine that is called PTmagazine's for your health, it has info about how physical therapy can help and stuff like that. You can also look up (on yahoo) something like Orthopedic or Info about PT.

Answer 3

Call your local hospital, nursing home, or outpatient rehabilitation facility and ask if you can interview an PT for a paper for school. Most PT's would be thrilled to talk to a possible future PT. (Also the face to face interview probably would score brownie points with your teacher too.)
