            Description

            Physical therapy (PT) aides support physical therapists and physical therapy assistants in tasks related to running a clinic. Physical therapy aides are important physical therapy team members—and there's a growing need for these trained professionals. Additionally, physical therapy aide and assistant jobs are projected to grow 19% by 2032, with roughly 27,500 new openings per year, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

            The training you will receive during your online physical therapy aide program will help you master the skills you need to work as an in-demand physical therapy aide. This includes understanding a certified physical therapy aide's role, responsibilities, and qualifications in various healthcare settings. Increase your knowledge by learning to define medical terminology and word elements related to physical therapy and summarize human anatomy, functional body movements, and system disorders as they relate to physical therapy.

            By completing your physical therapy aide certification course online, you can become proficient in performing non-medical tasks in the physical therapy office, including setting up appointment rooms, preparing treatment tools, and observing and documenting patient visits.

            During your physical therapy aide course, you will also prepare for the Physical Therapy Technician/Aide Certification (PTTC) exam offered by the American Medical Certification Association (AMCA) and walk through everything you need to know to land a physical therapy aide job post-course completion.
