Physical therapists provide services aimed at restoring and improving a patient's function, mobility, and pain level while preventing or limiting disabilities resulting from the injury or disease. They assist patients with exercise and using aids to help with mobility like walkers or crutches. While focusing on promoting overall fitness and health, PTs exhibit patience and a calm demeanor while addressing a range of disabling conditions such as lower back pain, arthritis, heart disease, fractures, head injuries, and cerebral palsy. Ideal candidates demonstrate thoroughness and competence in examining patients' medical histories, conducting tests to measure strength, range of motion, balance, coordination, posture, muscle performance, respiration, and motor function, and then prescribing treatment strategies. Traveling physical therapists can find positions in acute care, outpatient clinics, and home health settings.
Physical Therapist Assistants help plan and execute rehabilitative programs designed to improve patient mobility and reduce pain. PTAs may work in clinics, hospitals, or outpatient care facilities. These practitioners test and measure patient coordination, muscle strength, and range of motion as they participate in therapy designed to improve patient function. Find permanent and travel PTA jobs nationwide at academic teaching hospitals, outpatient clinics, rehab centers, and home health agencies. Travel PTA jobs let you gain experience in diverse settings, expand your knowledge of local cultures, and expose you to a variety of techniques and practitioners.
