I have worked as a Rehab Therapy Tech for over two years, assisting physical and occupational therapists in patient care. My responsibilities included setting up equipment, guiding patients through exercises, and documenting progress. I’ve worked with diverse populations, including post-surgical patients and individuals recovering from strokes. My hands-on experience has honed my ability to provide compassionate, patient-centered care while ensuring safety and adherence to therapy plans.

Patient safety is my top priority. I always verify equipment is properly set up and functioning before use. I closely monitor patients during exercises, providing support and adjustments as needed. I also communicate clearly with therapists to understand each patient’s limitations and goals. By staying attentive and proactive, I ensure a safe environment that promotes effective rehabilitation.

I approach challenging situations with patience and empathy. I strive to understand the patient’s concerns and adapt my communication style to build trust. For uncooperative patients, I focus on positive reinforcement and break tasks into smaller, manageable steps. Collaborating with therapists to address underlying issues also helps create a more supportive and motivating environment for the patient.

I am proficient in using a variety of therapeutic equipment, including resistance bands, treadmills, and electrical stimulation devices. I also have experience with assistive technologies like gait trainers and adaptive tools. I ensure proper maintenance and calibration of equipment to guarantee optimal functionality. My technical skills enable me to assist therapists effectively and enhance patient outcomes.

I prioritize tasks by assessing urgency and patient needs. I create a daily schedule, focusing on time-sensitive activities like patient appointments and equipment preparation. I remain flexible to handle unexpected changes, such as walk-ins or emergencies. Effective communication with the therapy team ensures smooth coordination, allowing me to manage multiple responsibilities efficiently while maintaining high-quality care.
