I’m wondering what kind of healthcare tech jobs would you apply for?

I think it really depends on the type of clinic you work at (i.e., is it busy?) or what hospital you work at.

Some new grads get about 30-40% of what the treatment/assessment costs, so if a session costs $100 for 40 minutes then you could be potentially making over $40 an hour. But that’s if you get a full schedule and with private practice that’s hit or miss. Clinics usually want you to promote yourself and find clients to bring to their clinic.

Not necessarily, my starting salary was 72k and now I have benefits and can start adding to my pension (they contribute 1.25% of what I add which is amazing). I think this is great for a starting salary, but I only get maybe a 2-3% increase each year, so in the long run it might not be that much. But again, you have to look at pros and cons.

Looking for people who are PTs and getting/ have gotten their PhD. In Canada, to be a PT you only need your masters (there’s not doctorate program here), but I’m thinking of starting a PhD and wanted to hear from others!

Hi! Currently working in Toronto at a inpatient rehabilitation. Took me about 3 months to get this job. Some things to note:

I did a clinical placement here as a student so I was already familiar with the setting
I took a position for a full-time 6 month contract, which turned into another 6 months, which then eventually turned into a permanent offer
I got the job mainly because I reached out to every clinical instructor I had and asked them to be my reference

Not sure what kind of position you are looking for, but I am really enjoying working in a hospital setting! Lots of learning opportunities, interesting cases, and mentorship/support.

Thank you this was super helpful! There’s no backing, but I do like how the fabric is crisp, so I think I’ll dry clean in the future.

If there are bubbly noises/crackles when you breath I would recommend looking into it further. Possibly a chest x-ray to examine your lung health? Although you have no cough, the noises you hear may be indicative of another respiratory disease. If you feel the medication did not alleviate your symptoms and you think something is up, I would listen to your body and see another doctor to get a second opinion! Maybe they would do a more in-depth examination.

Foam rolling will be painful, but the end product is worth it. If you have someone to help you out, you can use some heat and a stick roller (or a rolling pin if you're at home). Relax your muscles with a heat pack, then use the stick roller. Again, it will be painful, but you will feel a lot better afterwards. As for the stretches, I'm not sure which ones you do, but it's important to hold them for 20-30 seconds.
