Hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, clinics, and other health care settings all offer opportunities to assist licensed Physical Therapists in providing services to patients with a variety of needs, function levels and any other health conditions.
Physical Therapist Assistants assist Physical Therapists in all areas of therapy, from simple muscle massage to long-term reparative therapy for catastrophic combat injuries, From infants (i.e., helping developing muscle strength in musculoskeletal problems caused by conditions such as cerebral palsy, cystic fibrosis or scoliosis as well as traumatic injuries or movement disorders caused by premature births) through senior citizens, helping with any mobility problems or helping in recovering from a stroke or any other trauma. As the population ages, more and more individuals will be needing this type of treatment.
