You’re smart and dedicated and a beautiful person 🙏💐❤️ God Bless! After falling into a diabetic coma and exposure to COVID-19 in June 2020 I almost died but am alive due to dedicated doctors, nurses, police, paramedics and physical and occupational therapists! I was in ICU for 2 weeks on a ventilator! I had to relearn how to walk and get back on my feet. You rock!

@@sheanthesheep8816 hey! It's been challenging but the info you learn is very useful. I am glad I have professors who work with you to make sure you succeed. Who care more about if you pass the course as a whole, rather than if you get a 90 on an exam. If you wanna get more insights into what you may learn look up "pta practical exams" on KZfaq to get an idea. Hope this helps!

How is a Physical Therapist Assistant different from a Medical Exercise Specialist? It seems like PTAs are MES. Can you MAKE A VIDEO on that or just comment letting me know the difference.

@@tessnf im a student that was just accepted into a PTA program on the east coast of canada and as i was doing my research to make sure this was the career i wanted i learned that the program would take 2 years to complete and once you have the proper education along with workterms that i would be doing throughout the program you can be hired as PTA without having to have a license unlike a PT where you still have to pass a national exam to become a licensed PT

Can someone who has a weak back work as a PTA? I read online that PTA have to lift 300 lbs people.

I mean that depends , you can also ask for help when needed assisting. I’m a tech for now and I usually pick up a dude whos atleast 280 from his wheelchair to his bed. Depends the day I sometimes ask for help if my back feeling iffy.
