Physical therapy itself is a process of administering specific treatment protocols in helping to increase a patient's overall mobility and function.
If you enjoy the thought of helping people regain their body movements and improve on their physical limitations through treatments set up by physical therapists, enrolling in Everest's Physiotherapist Assistant program could be the key that helps unlock your career potential.
On the job, physiotherapist assistants work directly under the supervision of physiotherapists. Program training at the Ottawa East campus can help prepare you to learn a variety of skills and pursue entry-level employment within a health care facility upon graduation.
Physiotherapist Assistant courses at the Ottawa East campus include:
- Introduction to Rehabilitation
- Anatomy and Physiology
- Human Development
- Functional Movement

- And more
Everest offers students a comprehensive program, which covers anatomic terminology, basic techniques for handling limbs and patients, heat and cold applications, cervical and lumbar traction and much more. We also offer support and instruction for students on sharpening job interviewing skills, resume preparation, thank you letter follow-up and tips on handling the job search process.
While it can never be guaranteed that students will land a particular job, it is a sound bet that when the right kind of training, local economic conditions and personal work ethic combine forces, there is a good possibility a student will find the career of his or her dreams. Businesses and organizations realize the value that well-trained people can bring to the workplace on day one of employment.
