To do so, patients have to be given physical therapy treatments. In these treatments, physical therapy aides work with the clinical team and help in the pain management of patients. These aides work in a hospital, clinic, and rehabilitation center where they greet patients and support therapists in the treatment.
A physical therapy aide job application has to show compassion for ill and injured. It should present the candidate as someone having excellent eye for details, ability to read and follow instructions both written and verbal, and use both hands while handling equipment and exercising patients.
