Physical Therapy Assistants help patients during rehabilitation from injury, surgery, or a chronic condition. They work under the direction of a Primary Physical Therapist. As a Physical Therapy Assistant, you work with patients on exercises, stretches, and therapies prescribed by their doctor and physical therapist. Before they start workouts, you may set up heat or cold therapy for the patients to enable them to relax their muscles and reduce pain. You then instruct the patients on how to perform the treatments prescribed by their doctor and the physical therapist. Examples of exercises used during physical therapy include arm lifts on a weight machine, pedaling on a stationary bike, or forward lunges. You move with the patient from station to station, ensuring they have proper form, and document their progress.
| Aspect | Physical Therapy Assistant | Physical Therapist |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | Associate's degree in Physical Therapy Assisting, licensure or certification | Bachelor's, master's, or doctoral degree in Physical Therapy, state licensure |
| Work Environment | Assist in patient care under supervision, clinics, hospitals, rehab centers | Evaluate patients, develop treatment plans, oversee assistants |
| Employer & Industry | Hospitals, outpatient clinics, rehab facilities | Hospitals, private practices, clinics, research settings |
The main difference is that Physical Therapy Assistants support Physical Therapists by providing hands-on care under supervision, while Physical Therapists evaluate patients and create treatment plans. Both roles work closely in similar settings, but the Physical Therapist has a broader scope of practice and advanced credentials.
