Physical Therapy is one of the things that you can do you can also become an occupational therapist which deals with alot of ADL skills, or daily living skills like walking, cooking, self care, mobility etc.. Depending if you work for an insurance company, a hospital or privatly would depend on how much you make lowest you would make would be approx. 45000 any where up to 70,000 approx. You need a minimum or a masters degree to make "real" money which is around 6 years.
There is also the field of kinesiology (sp?) which deals with motion and how the body moves. It would also depend if you want to work with a specific age e.g. kids, elderly or anyone. On if you wanted a more specific education.
I would either talk to a guidance counsellor if you are still in high school or call the univerisity closest to your house and ask an academic advisor to steer you in the right direction for you, and they will also be able to tell you things like what kind of marks you need, for example if you want physical therapy you have to have really good marks in biology, math and science also if you would need to take AP classes.
If you are interested in other "helping professions" let me know as that is what I do and have been doing for 12 years.
Hope this helped.

I think you're talking about a physical therapist. Physical therapists provide services that help relieve pain and prevent permanent physical disabilities of patients suffering from injuries.
All states require physical therapists to pass a licensure exam before they can practice.
The average earnings of physical therapists is $60,000 per year, but depending on what you do, you can make anywhere between $42,000 and $88,000 per year.
You must have a master's or doctoral degree to become a physical therapist. Master's degrees take at least 6 years to complete. If you decide that you want to be a physical therapist assistant, you must have an associate's degree in physical therapy assisting. Associate's degrees take at least 2 years to complete.
The classes you would take to receive your degree include biology, physics, chemistry, anatomy, biomechanics, human growth and development, and neuroanatomy.
