Victoria College's new Physical Therapist Assistant Program will conduct an information session in October.

Anyone interested in applying for the PTA program will have the opportunity to talk with program administrators and get more information regarding the program, including the application process, curriculum, prerequisites and local career opportunities.

Physical therapist assistants help people of all ages who have medical problems or other health-related conditions that limit their ability to move and perform activities in their daily lives.

A PTA may help patients exercise or learn to use crutches, or gather and prepare therapy equipment.

Physical therapy patients may include accident victims or individuals with disabling conditions such as lower-back pain, arthritis, heart disease, fractures, head injuries and cerebral palsy.
