Am I Just a Therapist's Helper?
Episode 179
Tuesday, 30 June, 2026
Every PTA has felt it — the PT who treats you like an aide instead of a licensed clinician. This week, Ken and Laura name what the field doesn't say out loud: your supervising PT is your coworker, not your boss. They break down what clinical supervision actually means, why it constantly gets confused with workplace management, and how to spot the difference before you accept a position where that line gets crossed. Walk away with a concrete framework, a job-interview question that changes how you evaluate employers, and a sharper read on your own PTA identity and scope. Follow us @thePTassistants on Instagram and tell us your PT-PTA story. 📬 Love the show? Get more between episodes.
