I Want That Job!: Physical Therapist Assistant

Physical therapist assistants (PTAs) play an important role in helping people get back on their feet. Or moving that arm. Or having a pain-free back.
The PTA uses using exercise and movement to help reduce pain and gain mobility.
All states require physical therapist assistants to acquire an associate degree from an accredited program, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Programs typically last about two years. Courses include anatomy, physiology, and kinesiology. Assistants experience work-based learning during supervised clinical work.
PTAs are licensed or certified. After completion of an accredited program, the PTA must pass the National Physical Therapy Exam for physical therapist assistants. The exam is administered by the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy.

Is this a good field for men as well?

[@BIBLE-a-s-m-r]

If you have the heart for it yes I would say so

[@user-hn9qg5qm3o]

No. I’m a man and have done it and it’s a clown job. Too many shams in the PT field that try to claim something but doesn’t really work.
