About the Role
As a PTA, you'll carry out treatment plans established by supervising Physical Therapists for an adult and mixed-age outpatient orthopedic population. PTAs in this practice see an average of 11–14 patients per day and do not perform evaluations, allowing you to focus entirely on delivering quality hands-on care. You'll be backed by a team of aides and techs with BA degrees handling therapeutic exercise, keeping your schedule focused on skilled treatment.
The practice is home to a team of 30+ therapists across 9 clinics, built on a culture of teamwork, mentorship, and clinical growth. There are no rigid productivity quotas — the importance of productivity is discussed collaboratively, not enforced as a metric.
Documentation is made easy with Clinicient / InsightGo EMR powered by Comprehend PT AI Scribe — so you spend less time charting and more time with patients.
Key Responsibilities
- Implement individualized treatment plans under the direction and supervision of a licensed PT
- Deliver skilled therapeutic interventions for adult outpatient orthopedic patients
- Monitor and report patient progress to the supervising PT
- Maintain accurate, timely documentation using Clinicient/InsightGo with AI Scribe support
- Build genuine therapeutic rapport with patients and contribute to a positive team culture
- Collaborate with PTs, aides, and support staff in a team-oriented setting
Preferred Skills & Specializations
All experience levels are welcome. The practice actively supports continuing education and will partner with staff to achieve higher-level clinical credentials, including:
- Orthopedic rehabilitation
- Manual therapy techniques
- Vestibular rehabilitation
- Trigger point dry needling
What They're Looking For
Above all else, this team values interpersonal skills and being a true team player. Strong rapport-building and communication are the top priority — more so than clinical specialty or certifications. If you're personable, collaborative, and committed to both your patients and your teammates, you'll fit right in.
