The Way Podcast, Episode 18 — Gaining Real-World Experience with CHS alumna Martha Thomas, PT

Martha Thomas, PT

Let's Continue to Celebrate National Physical Therapy Month!

By Ryan Clark
CHS Communication Director

Martha Thomas, PT, a UK Physical Therapy alumna from the Class of 1972 who spent four decades helping others, has found a way to continue helping now that her career is complete.

In retirement, Thomas noticed that many of the books written about Physical Therapy were academic titles — and she felt there was a need to write one from the perspective of a physical therapist in the trenches. She wanted students to know just what it was like to go through PT school, what it was like to see that first patient, and what it was like to have a long career in the profession, among other topics.

Because she’s done it all.

Come with us and learn about what it's like to gain some real-world experience as a PT as we celebrate the last days of National Physical Therapy Month … on this episode of The Way Podcast.
