Job Description

A Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) works under the supervision of a licensed Physical Therapist (PT) to assist in the implementation of treatment plans designed to help patients recover from injuries, surgeries, or conditions that impair movement and mobility. PTAs play a key role in rehabilitation by performing hands-on therapy, monitoring patient progress, and helping patients restore physical function, improve mobility, and reduce pain.

Key Responsibilities:

  1. Implementing Treatment Plans:
    • Assist in the execution of physical therapy treatment plans developed by the Physical Therapist.
    • Administer therapeutic exercises, manual therapy techniques, and modalities (e.g., hot/cold packs, ultrasound, electrical stimulation) to patients.
    • Use physical therapy equipment, such as treadmills, stationary bikes, and resistance machines, to aid in patient recovery.
    • Guide patients through prescribed exercises, ensuring correct form and technique to avoid injury and achieve optimal results.
  2. Patient Monitoring and Progress Evaluation:
    • Observe and monitor patient responses to physical therapy treatments and communicate progress or concerns to the supervising Physical Therapist.
    • Track and document changes in patient condition, noting improvements or setbacks.
    • Provide feedback on patient performance and assist in modifying treatment plans as necessary, under the direction of the Physical Therapist.
    • Educate patients on proper body mechanics and techniques to manage pain or prevent injury.
  3. Patient Education:
    • Teach patients exercises, stretches, and home care strategies to enhance recovery and reduce the risk of re-injury.
    • Explain the purpose and benefits of physical therapy treatments to patients, addressing questions or concerns.
    • Instruct patients on how to use assistive devices (e.g., walkers, crutches, braces) and ensure safe usage.
    • Provide emotional support to patients, offering encouragement and motivation throughout the rehabilitation process.
  4. Documentation and Record Keeping:
    • Maintain accurate and up-to-date records of each patient's progress, including treatment details, outcomes, and changes in condition.
    • Document patient interactions and report any significant findings to the supervising Physical Therapist.
    • Assist in the development of progress notes and treatment summaries, ensuring compliance with HIPAA and other legal and regulatory requirements.
  5. Collaboration with Healthcare Team:
    • Work closely with the Physical Therapist, physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals to ensure coordinated care for patients.
    • Communicate effectively with other team members to provide the best care plan for the patient's rehabilitation.
    • Participate in team meetings to discuss patient progress and contribute to modifying treatment plans as necessary.
  6. Equipment and Facility Maintenance:
    • Assist in the maintenance and cleanliness of physical therapy equipment, ensuring that it is in proper working order.
    • Ensure that therapy areas are tidy and organized for patient use.
    • Adhere to infection control standards and ensure patient safety during therapy sessions.
  7. Assist in Evaluations and Initial Assessments:
    • Assist in the collection of patient history and performing basic physical assessments (e.g., range of motion, strength testing) under the direction of the Physical Therapist.
    • Help gather data for the initial evaluation, such as mobility levels and functional limitations.
  8. Safety and Injury Prevention:
    • Ensure a safe environment by observing proper lifting and movement techniques for patients and coworkers.
    • Follow all health and safety guidelines to avoid potential injuries to patients or self during therapy sessions.
    • Monitor patients for signs of fatigue, discomfort, or injury and adjust therapy plans as needed.
