Physical Therapy Aides work in an environment where patients are recovering from injuries and illnesses, and where care plans are implemented to help patients regain movement and manage pain. Aides often perform tasks that are indirectly related to patient care, such as cleaning and setting up the treatment area, moving patients and performing administrative or clerical duties. Other duties include preparing hot and cold packs, sanitizing equipment and assisting with patient intake. Often Aides are responsible for documenting patients' responses during exercise.
