Both Physical Therapy Assistants and Physical Therapy Aides work under the direction of Physical Therapists. They help patients who are recovering from injuries, illnesses, and surgeries to regain movement and manage pain. Physical Therapy Assistants are involved in the direct care of patients. Physical Therapy Aides often do tasks that are indirectly related to patient care, such as cleaning and setting up the treatment area, moving patients, and clerical tasks.
Physical Therapy Assistants observe patients before and during therapy, noting their status and reporting to a physical therapist, help patients do specific exercises, use a variety of techniques, such as massage and stretching, to treat patients, use devices and equipment, such as walkers, to help patients, and educate a patient and family members about what to do after treatment.
Physical Therapy Assistants' median annual wage is approximately $49,690. PTAs make excellent prospects for uniforms, continuing education seminars, travel, finance & insurance, credit cards, fashion and/or supply catalogs, trade publications, journals, and much more.
