I have the upmost respect for Physical Therapists and their assistants . They got me back on my feet after stroke in 2015.. if I were younger I would like to be a physical therapist or assistant. God bless all for the work they do..

Just graduated PTA school in Texas! 8 months pregnant! it's a lot of work but so worth it!

[garrett]

Great video, I’ve been a PTA for a little over a year and I love it. Don’t really want to spend over a year of extra schooling just to be able to do evaluations for new patients but honestly the pay increase is enticing

[margaretpetty]

Graduated in 1986!! Still love being a PTA!!

[Dawn-weqh]

I started with watching your foot exercises today and couldn't stop watching other videos. You guys are awesome and so helpful and REAL. LOVE the interaction between you two and how you explain things so well! I tell many others to watch you. Thanks for your videos! Keep 'em coming!

[myneoangel]

This was probably the most helpful video I’ve found about this… thank you guys!!

[jaredhaas]

I enjoy watching videos by Bob and Brad. Very informative.

COTA in Indiana and been one for seven years and counting.

There are pros and cons of being the assistant vs being the one in charge. I am glad I became a cota bc I get to work more so with patients and depending on the setting you work in, you can make more of an impact on patients despite making less money but good enough to live on.

It's a little discouraging that from my experience, these facilities care more about productivity, increase patient volume on its therapist, making money. It's not about patient outcomes or patient care. Too many places are a "patient mill".

That just leads to burnt out therapists.

Before covid it was hard to find a job in therapy. Complete opposite now.

Great profession but the healthcare system needs revamped.

Brad, I thought you were doing a great introduction for this video👏👏👏. Bob... relaxxxx, be patient♥️ I appreciate you guys, and I listen almost everyday.

[kentmarsden]

Thank you for this video. I will share this with my students who are preparing for a PTA program in Wisconsin.

End of 1st year SPTA, 1st clinical rotation upcoming next month for summer semester. "You owe your future patients your very best" was very insightful and motivating !!! Thank you for the vid !!

[centraltexaskayakbassin]

Our program was super difficult to get into, had around 100 apply and only 24 get in. Get your one chance to get in and if you miss your mark, gotta wait till next year.

[Nashay]

Thank you for this video, I’m actually talking my pre Reqs to get into the PTA program at my school. Let’s me know what I need to look forward to

[ArmedForceof]

Thanks for the info! Starting PTA school in the Fall at 25

[MarikaCPTNASM]

So as an LPTA for 25 plus Amazing years specializing in Aquatic PT. And still treat. I so wanted to further my education to become a DPT however it was not in my cards. To supplement I became Certified Personal Trainer thru NASM and can help with discharged Post rehab patients. It do miss helping patients with land based OP PT services it is very difficult now in 2024 ….

Our PTA program has prerequisite core classes in phase 1 including multiple A&P, math, English, etc., and to get into the second phase, you have to meet a lot of criteria, including a certain GPA, specific score on a teas test, and volunteer hours. It’s indeed heavy 😂

[shahinchaudhary]

These guys are awesome..love from India 🇮🇳

Interesting to hear about PTA admissions in other parts of the country. My PTA class had 120 applicants for 32 spots and the average GPA was 3.8 with about half of the class having bachelors already. We also had interviews that weighed equally with GPA for your admission score.

[livingwithpsychosistoday]

Perhaps it depends on what college you apply to because colleges in Houston do have a years worth of prerequisites to apply for the PTA program. Anatomy 1&2 intro to psyc an a couple others
