Role in Manitoba’s Health System
Rehabilitation assistants are key members of health-care teams that aim to restore, maintain, and enhance a patient or client’s mobility and activity levels.
Rehabilitation assistants work closely with occupational therapists (OTs), physiotherapists (PTs), recreational therapists, and speech-language pathologists (SLPs) to support hands-on rehabilitation. This includes tasks such as exercise, range of motion, splinting, equipment maintenance, and functional mobility training.

“I currently work in amputee rehab, helping clients build up their strength so they can get out of their wheelchair or get fit for prosthesis.
My role in their rehab is like the gateway to the next part of their journey, and it’s extremely rewarding to see your work translate into someone else’s progress.”
– Taylor, Rehabilitation Assistant
