PT supportAt — Personally Fit
Work in an out-patient physical therapy practice with a strong fitness and wellness slant. Great introduction to the field and observational hours for those interested in applying for physical therapy school. We also make most of our hires for our PT Aide position from our student volunteer pool, since you will learn many of our rehab protocols for such diagnoses as ACL reconstruction, RTC tear, Spinal surgery, etc.
Learn exercise prescription as outlined by the PT for certain conditions. Learn the incorporation of physical therapy and fitness as a progression to wellness. Learn the operation of an out-patient physical therapy practice, the flow of the clinic to optimize the patient experience.
We have a standardized training program for our PT support staff that will be instructed.
Will need to learn contact-guard support for fall risk patients, safety working with patients even in an observational role.
Contact Dave Blanchard MPT for available slots in our volunteer program.
