We are a fun, relaxed Physical Therapy clinic looking for a dedicated, personable and enthusiastic physical therapist assistant (F/T, P/T and PRN position available). MUST HAVE A PHYSICAL THERAPIST ASSISTANT LICENSE.

If You Enjoy

Working in an environment where the client ALWAYS comes first thus giving you the control necessary to execute the BEST possible care.

An employer dedicated to your continued learning, professional development, and happiness.

Having a truly pivotal role in a company that helps active people stay fit, healthy and mobile while avoiding medications, injections and surgery.

Learning and Taking Initiative

At FYZICAL Therapy and Balance Centers - Heathcote and Manassas our mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of our patients by delivering the best health care possible - and to be recognized as a trusted source of advice for people in our community who want answers to concerning questions about how to rebuild their health.

As a PTA on staff, you will have a huge a role in the growth and success of our practice.

So, you will bring your own skill set but we'll be teaching you a large number of techniques and ways to optimize patient interactions and experiences. We're fans of having a big clinical “toolbox” and do not subscribe to any one physical therapy school/methodology as being better than all others.

But there's something even more important than your manual/PTA skills: your personality and interpersonal skills. In our opinion, if you can't "win over" a patient via your conversations and interactions, it almost doesn't matter how good you are with your hands and ther ex prescription.

The right person for this job will learn to assess and skillfully respond to the wide variety of personality types that visit our clinic, "meeting them where they're at" to build great rapport with every patient.

So, we're obviously looking for someone who is passionate about learning and wise enough to know there will always be much more to learn … regardless of age or experience. And in our clinic, the learning, training, and practicing will not only be about improving clinical skills but also about improving your ability to create of an incredible experience for every patient (and that experience goes very far beyond just the results you get for them with your PTA skills).

If all the above has made you excited about this job, here is a detailed "success description" outlining all the details of what being successful in this position will look like

A warm and calming demeanor and an affinity towards communicating comfortably with new people and making them feel welcome.

  • Natural empathy and compassion for those in pain and compromised function
  • Willingness to learn and implement feedback
  • Strong attention to detail
  • Self-Starter
  • Fantastic hands-on & manual skills
  • Graduate of an accredited physical therapy program
  • What Can We Do For You...

We are part of a franchise; however, we are independently owned and NOT a corporate-owned PT office. Never have been, never will be.

A competitive hourly wage based on job title, combination of performance, experience and what you "bring" to the practice

  • Unlimited continuing education through our partnership with Medbridge.
  • SIMPLE IRA with 3% employer match
  • Monthly productivity bonus of 6% of gross wage
