Role of a Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) Physical therapist assistants (PTAs) work as part of a team to provide physical therapy services under the direction and supervision of the physical therapist.
The physical therapist may choose to utilize a PTA in the provision of components of the physical therapy treatment.
