Are there any? I was under the impression that something in the medical field requires a lot more hands-on work like in labs and clinics....

There is no way that you can learn to be a PT on the computer. The majority of PT school is hands on.

I asked my Hubby whose a PT just to be sure, he said that you can take some of the courses online but you will need to go in and be hands on for alot of things. good luck!

there are many prerequisites that u can probably take online but classes like sciences and those specific to physical therapy you probaby need to do in school, go to class. of course fieldwork/internship is always hands on. usually a master's degree is obtained by attending a special program at a college

I'd be surprised if you can get an online PT degree.
much of PT school is very hands on.
