DE QUEEN, Ark. - The University of Arkansas Cossatot's Physical Therapy program is busy this October recognizing and raising awareness of the benefits physical therapy provides.
Physical therapists and physical therapist assistants play a vital role in helping individuals improve function, mobility and pain relief. In addition, PTs and PTAs encourage individuals to play an active role in their own care.
This semester, UA Cossatot students are learning many foundational concepts in preparation for building on future knowledge needed for therapeutic exercise. That includes building the muscles of the body on a skeleton in order to provide physical and visual learning of the location of these muscles and how they assist in everyday movement.
UA Cossatot began the Physical Therapist Assistant program in 2018. And in August, the PTA program admitted its second cohort.
Those interested in learning more about the college's PTA program can contact UA Cossatot Medical Education Advisors, Christina Cooper or Maranda
Reynolds, at 870-584-1147.
