Helping People Move Forward: The Role of a Physical Therapist Assistant

Have you ever seen someone learn to walk again after surgery or bounce back from a sports injury? Behind that powerful moment, there’s often a Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA)—a skilled, compassionate professional helping patients move, heal, and rebuild confidence.

At the Institute of Technology (IOT), we’re proud to offer our Physical Therapist Assistant program at our campuses in Clovis, Modesto, and Redding. Whether you’re just starting your education or looking for a meaningful new path, becoming a PTA could be your opportunity to make a real difference in people’s lives.

🧠 What Does a PTA Do?

PTAs work under the direction of licensed physical therapists to help patients regain movement and manage pain after injuries, illnesses, or surgeries. They guide patients through exercises, teach proper techniques, track progress, and offer encouragement during tough moments.

It’s a hands-on, people-centered career where every day is different—and every success story feels personal.
