Program Reviews

I was so hesitant at first to go out of the country alone for the first time. But, this trip will be an unforgettable experience and made such a positive impact both personally and professionally. My heart is full from working with the children, indulging myself in a new culture and lifestyle, and making new friendships. Despite the trip being postponed due to Houston weather, Therapy Abroad made the accommodations and made it happen. They truly care about us and will make the necessary arrangements. Shoutout to the TA team!

Therapy abroad helped me in so many ways! I learned so much about the physical therapy profession and the amazing people of San Ignacio, Belize! I was very excited to learn about the culture in Belize and got just that! Being able to be exposed to such a diverse and medically complex population was absolutely vital in my experience with therapy abroad! I was able to grow, learn, and adapt from patient to patient.This would not have been possible without therapy abroad! I absolutely would recommend therapy abroad to anyone and fully plan on attending again!

As a physical therapy student, I highly recommend taking a service trip with Therapy Abroad! Everyone we interacted with was extremely helpful, friendly, and excited to have us in Belize!

Treating all of our patients in various settings was my favorite part of the trip because we got to build relationships with them and other members of our group!! I also enjoyed sightseeing within San Ignacio and eating dinner in local restaurants each night! Therapy Abroad helped everything go so smoothly!!

Our Doctor of Physical Therapy Program from High Point travelled to Belize and it was an unforgettable experience!

The presentations were very informative and well structured. TherapyAbroad's accommodations were great for our group and their communication with us was very proactive! This trip was filled with so many wonderful memories and I would definitely recommend it to any student that is interested!

Our Physical Therapy trip abroad in Belize was an unforgettable experience! We were able to work with so many amazing patients of a variety of populations and conditions, and learned so much about the diverse and rich Belizean culture! Therapy Abroad made sure everything went smoothly, from setting up all of our patient visits to providing us with delicious and authentic food and scheduling time to sightsee and immerse ourselves in the San Ignacio culture. They also were very communicative when planning our trip and made sure we had everything we needed from the minute we got off the plane. Everyone was so kind and helpful throughout the week, and we were so lucky to have gone this incredible trip!

Our group of student physical therapists from High Point University had an unbelievable experience being able to treat such a wide range of patients in San Ignacio, Belize. Seeing the need there, immersing ourselves in the culture and local food and being able to play such a impactful role in improving the quality of life for our patients was extremely rewarding for all of us. Therapy Abroad played a tremendous part in setting everything up for this service trip and we are excited to go again next year.

Had the most rewarding and amazing time! Learned so much and the accommodations were great! Would definitely do it again! They provided opportunities to explore the beautiful country of Belize and took us to the best local spots to eat and shop. The family and staff at the hotel were very friendly and welcoming. They made sure we had everything we could need and some. The breakfast and lunch provided was absolutely delicious. They provided options for people with dietary restrictions I loved every moment and can’t wait to come back and visit!

This trip was an excellent learning experience; we were able to see a great variety of patients in a large age range. This really helped to challenge me as a future Physical Therapist to be adaptable to the lifespan of conditions. I also enjoyed taking a tour of San Ignacio and learning more about the food and culture of Belize that I did not know before going on this trip. The only thing I would change is I wish we had a little more leisure time to continue exploring and understanding the culture to better understand our patients and their lives.
