I am a student PTA and I was intersted in getting into the sports rehab field when I graduate. Is there any additional training I would need to get involoved in that, or would most of it be on-the-job. My PTA degree alone will be adequate to get a job somewhere in the sports field?

There are quite a few of therapeutic exercise con ed courses and sports specific con ed courses available which would strengthen your experience in the sports rehab realm. A PTA degree with a strong background in sports and knowledge of sport specific tasks will be a good foundation for working with athletes who require therapy.

The best thing is to get your name out there..
volunteer with the local youth sports teams etc.
the more people know about you the better..
good luck!

I believe if you work hard and care about what you do, you will succeed.

You need to work with a local team to get your name out there. From there onwards you can look to succeed.
All the best.

At minimum, you will need a PTA. I am sure that consideration would be given to any sports related experience you may have. If you have a good knowledge of sports related injuries, and the therapy of such, this would give you a considerable edge when looking for employment.
