High school classes don't play an important role in you becoming a physical therapist. However, if psychology and medical terminology or any type of pre-professional class is offered, I would DEFINITELY take that. The more behavioral and science classes, the better. But, like I said, they are not required. Unless you want to take some of your basic college courses early, you can take an AP level class offered at your school. The AP class will offer you a placement test to determine if you are exempt from that class or not. You pay for your books and tests as you would if you were a college student. Starting early with AP courses in high school and having an excellent GPA, you can actually apply to take general college level courses during the summer in between your high school years and graduate even earlier.

Are any classes transferable to physical therapy from a education degree?

It depends on which level you are referring to (physical therapy assistant or physical therapist). The general education courses required for a physical therapy assistant should be usable. However, the minimum educational requirement for a physical therapist at present is a master's degree in physical therapy, and that may soon change to a doctorate for entry level. This means you must complete a bachelor's degree with all prerequisite coursework satisfied.

After working with the feet the therapist should always wash their hands. It depends on what you are seeing the therapist for in the first place as to what to do for you after they work on your feet. This is most likely referring to a physical therapist in which you have physical therapy. If you aren't sure that you're getting the right treatment, talk to your doctor who referred you to therapy.
