Physical therapist assistants follow plans created by PTs that involve stretching, strength training, exercises, and physical manipulation to help people recover. PT assistants will track progress and report to the physical therapist. In addition, PT assistants are in charge of the treatment area, making sure that it is clean, neat, and ready for each patient.
