PT training: https://study.com/physical_therapy_masters.html http://www.apta.org/PTEducation/Overview/ As seen above since 2015 all physical therapists need to have a doctorate ( i.e. doctor of physical therapy). . Sometimes a PTA- physical therapist assistant works under the physical therapist doing the exercises with patients. http://www.apta.org/PTAEducation/Overview/
