Rehabilitation treatments are designed to help patients recover from injuries, illnesses, or diseases to as normal a condition as possible. They are used for patients who have lost the ability to function normally and involve one-on-one training that may last weeks to months. The median salary for a full-time physical therapist assistant nationally is $45,000, though rehabilitation settings pay slightly more at $48,000 nationally. While rehabilitation makes up a small percentage of settings at 4.8%, it provides diverse experiences working with patients of varying ages and diagnoses, including trauma, stroke, infections, tumors, and more.
