What is a therapy tech?

Therapy Techs, also known as therapy technicians or rehabilitation aides, are healthcare professionals who assist physical therapists, occupational therapists, and other rehabilitation staff in providing care to patients. Their duties typically include preparing treatment areas, transporting patients, assisting with exercises, and maintaining equipment. While they do not provide direct therapy, their support is essential in ensuring that therapy sessions run smoothly and efficiently. Therapy Techs work in settings such as hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and outpatient clinics. They often interact closely with both patients and therapists to help achieve the best possible outcomes for patient recovery.
