Physical Therapist Assistant
A Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) is a trained professional who works alongside physical therapists to help patients recover from injuries, surgeries, or disabilities. PTAs assist in implementing treatment plans that include exercises, therapeutic techniques, and patient education focused on improving movement and managing pain. They play a crucial role in monitoring progress, ensuring patients perform exercises correctly, and providing support throughout the rehabilitation process. By working directly with patients, PTAs contribute to enhancing mobility and overall quality of life, helping individuals regain their independence and return to everyday activities.
