Pros

Knowledgeable and passionate physical therapists and occupational therapists. For someone looking to work on their soft-skills and practical knowledge in multiple areas related and unrelated to PT/OT this is a wonderful opportunity. Sincere appreciation is always provided! Great opportunity to see if this is a field which you enjoy. Constant learning environment.

Cons

Lack of communication can result in preventable scenarios. Newly introduced tasks/data collection is tedious and time-consuming to traditional methods. Fellow Aides not having confidence in their abilities to learn and grow in the job.

Pros

my coworkers and patients were the only thing that made me enjoy the job

Cons

given way too much to do and we're underpaid. the company expects PTs to double book patients and come in early and stay late for patients, and skip their lunches. So this in turn makes the PTs give the aides way too many patients at once.

Pros

I love the team of PT's, Rehab. aides, and office coordinator that I work with. It really is a team atmosphere in the clinic and the team I've been able to work with is great. I get to interact with lots of patients throughout the day and have built some great connections with patients that I have worked with. It truly is a relational job and the best rehab aides are the ones who can effectively help the patient and make strong connections with the patient during their time in the clinic. I also love the variety of my responsibilities, like cleaning the clinic, answering calls, helping a patients with exercises and stretches, setting up modalities, Once you get the hang of it, the job can be very fast-paced and fun when you're balancing all those responsibilities at once. This can make shifts fly by and especially be fun if you're a people person like me and enjoying talking with your patients and coworkers.

Cons

A lot is asked of the rehab aides, and the training for the position isn't super formal. While I eventually learned and was able to adapt to the job, I struggled at first because I wanted to do a good job but felt unprepared and overwhelmed. Learning how to balance all of my in-clinic responsibilities took time, and it can be really hectic (depending on how busy the clinic) as a rehab aide so be prepared to learn on the fly and be able to juggle several different tasks. The PT's really lean on the rehab aides to help with their patient treatment, so I personally think the pay could be higher because of the amount of work we do and the integral role aides play in the success of the clinic
