Physical therapist assistants play an important role in the rehabilitation and treatment
of patients with diverse medical conditions or injuries. Through the use of therapeutic
modalities, exercise and other techniques, physical therapy assists patients in the
relief of pain and discomfort as well as restoring optimal function. Students enrolled

related tasks under the supervision of a licensed physical therapist. Clinical education
