About the Clinic

At TheraFit Rehab, we believe therapy should look like real life. We are a therapist-owned, family-oriented clinic where the patient always comes first. Unlike high-volume clinics, we prioritize quality of care through 1:1 treatment sessions, allowing you the time and space to actually treat, educate, and connect with your patients.

While we are a neuro-specific clinic, we take a holistic approach by also treating orthopedic and pediatric populations. You’ll be part of a collaborative, interdisciplinary team that values creativity, out-of-the-box thinking, and functional results.

Why Join the TheraFit Family

True 1:1 Patient Care: No double-booking. No rushing. Focus on the human in front of you.

Mentorship & Growth: Our owners are therapists who work right alongside you. We provide structured in-clinic training and ongoing mentorship.

Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Work and learn with experts across various therapy disciplines to provide comprehensive care.

Freedom to Create: We encourage "Real Life Therapy." If your patient needs to practice gardening, navigating a curb, or playing a sport—we make it happen.

Work-Life Balance: We are a family-first clinic. We work hard, but we respect your time and your life outside of TheraFit.

Benefits & Compensation

  • Competitive Salary based on experience.
  • Health Insurance: Employer contribution toward your premiums.
  • Simple IRA: Retirement planning with company matching.
  • Paid Time Off (PTO) & Paid Holidays.
  • Continuing Education (CEU): Annual budget to help you master your craft.
  • Mentorship Program: Direct access to seasoned clinicians for skill development.
  • Sign on Bonus

What We’re Looking For

  • Education: Graduate of an accredited Physical Therapy Assistant program.
  • Licensure: Active (or pending) New Jersey Physical Therapy Assistant License.
  • The Right Fit: Someone who is passionate about neuro-rehab but enjoys the variety of ortho and peds.

Mindset: A creative problem-solver who values a "family feel" and wants to be part of a supportive, non-corporate environment.

How to Apply

If you’re tired of the "90% productivity" grind and want to fall in love with therapy again, we’d love to meet you. Email your resume and cover letter to Sarah Miltner at smiltner@therafitrehab.com and Trish Villany at tvillany@therafitrehab.com
