PTA Jobs in South Carolina

A Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) plays a crucial role in the therapy industry by providing support to physical therapists in patient care. They help patients who are recovering from injuries and illnesses regain movement and manage pain. Some of their duties include observing patients before, during, and after therapy, noting their status and reporting back to a physical therapist. They also assist by teaching patients exercises, helping them with stretches, and educating them about what to do at home after treatment. PTAs may also use devices and equipment to assist patients with their therapy.

In terms of qualifications, a PTA must have an associate's degree from an accredited PTA program and a state-issued certification or licensure. They should also have essential skills such as observation, dexterity, physical stamina, and good interpersonal skills. Before becoming a PTA, a person may have roles such as a physical therapist aide where they gain experience in the field or a certified nursing assistant (CNA) where they acquire a basic understanding of patient care. Another potential role is a rehabilitation aide, where they directly assist in physical therapy and rehabilitation services.
