As a rehab technician, also known as a rehabilitation aide, you work alongside doctors and therapists, helping to further the patient's rehabilitation process in physical therapy. You may supervise physical therapy exercises, do paperwork, prepare and clean equipment, or make appointments.

This certainly varies based upon the clinic, but I can address the typical duties of a tech!
- assist the therapist by demonstrating or supervising patients doing exercises
- physically assist the therapist with moving patients from wheelchair to a mat table (as an example) if they are unable to do this alone
- keeping the clinic clean and tidy: this could include sanitizing surfaces, laundry, cleaning various tools used by the therapists, or stocking supplies
- they could assist with faxing and other paperwork as needed
- some assist with scheduling patients
Overall (and this is specific to Texas), rehab techs are able to perform a variety of duties based upon what they are trained in and what the supervising therapist deems appropriate. When interviewing, it’s always important to clarify what duties you are expected to perform each day!
