How much do sports physical therapist make?
Sorry, but i have to counterpoint nearly every point in Donald's post. First, to clear the confusion about a "sports therapist." There's really no such profession: You can be a physical therapist who specializes in sports medicine or orthopedic management, or you can be an athletic trainer...which are somewhat similar careers (but are still quite different). I'll assume you mean a physical therapist with an emphasis on sports medicine. To do this, you need a degree in physical therapy which, in the US, is now a doctorate degree (DPT). It's typically a 7 year course of study where you complete an undergraduate degree including some basic sciences prior to entering the competitive entry graduate phase of the program. The graduate phase is typically 3 years. A handful of school offer an accelerated program that consists of 3years of pre-propfessional coursework and 3 years of professional coursework. Your undergraduate degree doesn't matter, but you will have to complete the PT prerequisites. Since this includes a lot of sciences, many students choose something closely related to that: kinesiology, healthcare sciences, etc. If you wish to specialize in sports, this is something you typically do after you graduate. If, after a year of work in a sports med setting, you can apply to take a Sports Medicine Specialist board certification exam. There are also a host of residency type programs such as manual therapy and possibly some sports med residency programs...but these are not as common...at least, not at this time. As far as college....well, if there's a particular sport towards which you are drawn, this may require a little research. I'd study at an institution where the research in that area is being done. University of Alabama, for example does a lot with the throwing athlete. Other than that, just attending a school that has an accredited PT program is certainly sufficient. Starting salaries for PTs is typically in the $60,000 range with national median salaries around $76,000 a year...this is certainly subject to demand and regional variations. Sports medicine PTs aren't necessarily paid more than average.

Whats the Salary for a sports physical therapist?
You still must become a physical therapist to become a "sports physical therapist." If you are referring to a physical therapist who works soley with athletes as with professional teams, this is an extremely difficult niche to get into and usually requires years of experience before someone will even consider you for a position. Once at that level, however, this niche has the potential to earn in the top 10% in the field...> than $75,000/year. However, if you are simply referring to practice in an orthopedic setting, the salary is often very average for the field...about $60,000/year. This depends highly on the demand in your area...often times those in rural areas can earn $10,000 more a year due to the demand for qualified personell. Regarding education, those who go for certification in sports medicine or obtain their orthopedic clinical specialist certification would probably have more of a negotiating factor as opposed to someone who just has their DPT. The DPT is desigend to be an entry level degree and has no advantage over someone with years of experience. Those who complete a PHD would probably have the greatest earning potential as this denotes a high degree of expertise (as in kinesiology, anatomy, etc).
Salary of a specialized physical therapist?
It will really depend on what that certification is, the area in which you work and how in demand is your specialty. I'd expect someone who works in an area sorely in need of an obscure certification such as women's health (that includes pelvic floor rehab) can expect to make about $10-20,000 more than the national average of about $70,000. Other certifications such as sports medicine or orthopedic clinical specialist...definetely more than average, but perhaps not quite as much of a salary difference as mentioned above.
Physical Therapist salary in Iceland?
The best comment I could find about standard of living in Iceland is this: "Literacy, longevity, income, and social cohesion are first-rate by world standards." Recently, Forbes Magazine declared that Iceland is the best place in the world to live - taking into consideration low crime, excellent and affordable health care, education, sport and cultural availability. Sorry I could not find the actual salary for a PT.
Career in sports therapy?
well classes to take first, some schools offer these some don't Anatomy and physiology (human bio) sports medicine eating healthy strength training chemistry physics and anything else that seem to go along with medicine university's,your not going to get to best university's if you don't broaden out of state but the best way to find a college that has what your looking for is to go to the various school websites, and look up their majors. salary varies a lot, no joke anywhere from 30 k to millions depending who you work for. many higher paying sports therapists have PHD in physical therapy so this is what you make it. the more school you get the more you make yourself worth but a time frame is anywhere from 4 to 10 years of schooling. hope this helps, the amount of schooling was the reason i changed my area of study.
Equine Massage Thearapist Salary?
Ive been doing some research online and it is said that the average salary equine massage thearapists (ill call them EMT's from now on) make $50 - $100 per 1 hour session. Now, I did the math and assuming that the EMT treats six horses a day (making $300 per day) five days a week (making $1500 per week) for 52 weeks (making $78,000 per year). Which has the potential to be doubled if the EMT charged $100 per session. However, online it says that the average EMT's annual salary is only $40,000. Am I missing something? Did I do the math wrong? I would really love to become and Equine massage thearapist because I love horses more than anything, and would love to be able to help them, and make a decent living while doing it. Thanks for your time! Happy New Year :)
