Of all the subjects I had in school I enjoyed math the least and yet, as a grownup I find that I need math in almost everything I do. From shopping tofiguring out my paycheck to paying bills and so on I use math constantly. So, YES you definetly need math skills as you grow older. Also, almost any job you get will require some math skills.
A physical therapist needs to be patient and understanding. They also need to know about muscles in the body and body mechanics.
Physical therapists mostly use basic arithmetic. At a minimum, a physical therapist needs to be able to count to 10, to determine if any fingers/toes/arms/legs on their patient are missing. They also need to add large numbers, in order to calculate the total dollar amount they should charge their patients for their sessions.

If you are looking for a physical therapist you absolutely need to be referred to on by a medical doctor. Depending on your needs and/or injuries your family medical doctor will be able to make recommendations or to the preferred physical therapist.
A physical therapist uses math when he/she checks the total amount of how much they need to charge each patient. They also use it when they measure how swollen or how large a body part is. Whenever an instrument is used, like a goinometer, they measure how much force is used.
