Hello A:
Physical therapist assistants, sometimes called PTAs, and physical therapist aides work under the direction and supervision of physical therapists. They help patients who are recovering from injuries and illnesses to regain movement and manage pain.
The median annual wage for physical therapist aides was $27,000 in May 2019. The median wage is the wage at which half the workers in an occupation earned more than that amount and half earned less. The lowest 10% percent earned less than $20,310, and the highest 10% percent earned more than $39,740.
The median annual wage for physical therapist assistants was $58,790 in May 2019. The lowest 10% percent earned less than $33,450, and the highest 10% percent earned more than $80,840.
Employment of physical therapist assistants is projected to grow 33% percent from 2019 to 2029, much faster than the average for all occupations.
Best of luck to you!

The salary of a Physical Therapist Technician, also known as a Physical Therapist Aide or Assistant, can vary, with a median annual range typically falling between $26,000 to $30,000 in the United States as of my last knowledge update in September 2021. Factors influencing these earnings include location, level of experience, and the specific healthcare setting in which they work. Salaries tend to be higher in metropolitan areas with a higher cost of living and for those with more experience or specialized skills. However, it's essential to consult current salary data and consider individual circumstances and qualifications for the most accurate and up-to-date information on Physical Therapist Technician compensation.
