Job Description

Licensed Physical Therapy Assistant - Work-Life Balance + 67 visits/wk + Real Mentorship

Ready to Treat Patients Without Burning Out?

What if you could grow clinically, work with purpose, and still have a life outside the clinic?

At Total Recovery Physical Therapy (TRPT) , you can do your best work with great people—and still live the life you've always wanted as a clinician

We’re not a corporate mill & we're not another outpatient clinic.

We’re a therapist-owned, high-performance team that blends advanced clinical systems with a championship team-style culture.

We treat with purpose, mentor with intention, and celebrate excellence without sacrificing balance.

Who We’re Looking For

You’re a purpose-driven Physical Therapy Assistant who:

• Thrives in a collaborative, team-oriented environment
• Seeks mentorship and mastery , not micromanagement
• Believes your career should support your life—not consume it
• Values growth, ownership, and accountability
• Wants to be part of something bigger—challenge what outpatient practice looks like and redefine what “patient-centered” really means

What We’re Really Looking For

• A Passion for People: You care deeply about your patients, not just their pain points, but their progress. You believe in delivering individualized, evidence-based care that actually changes lives.
• A True Team Player: You love collaborating, lifting others up, and growing within a positive, supportive clinic culture . You believe great care happens when great people work together.
• Motivated and Driven: You show up ready and committed to doing things with excellence — even when no one’s watching.
• A Humble Learner: You ask questions, accept feedback, and seek growth. You want mentorship and continuing education because you’re hungry to get better , not just busier.
• An Owner's Mindset: You take pride in your work and own your outcomes. You understand that every patient is a reflection of your standards , and you never settle for average.
• Positive Energy is Your Superpower: You bring joy, encouragement, and fun into the clinic. You lift the vibe for your team and your patients.
• A Strong Communicator; You know how to talk to patients, not at them. You can simplify, motivate, and empathize — all in the same sentence.
• Growth-Minded: You’re not just here for a paycheck — you're here to build something great , improve your craft, and be part of a practice that’s on the rise.

If that sounds like you, we want to meet you!

Why Clinicians Choose TRPT

• Meaningful Results: Every patient is a success story. We design treatment plans that are customized, effective, and built on trust.
• Championship Team Culture: We row in the same direction. No egos, no gossip—just collaboration, ownership, and mutual respect.
• Growth & Mentorship: Weekly mentorship, in-services, and coaching. You’ll receive structured 1:1 development time— always on the clock , never “extra”.

• Treat like an expert with innovative state-of-the-art technologies that are used by elite athletes, such as the Neufit Neubie device.
• Work-Life balance: Dedicated time to grow - We build schedules to help you breathe, not burn out.

We constantly refine our systems and care models. Your ideas matter, your voice is heard, and your input drives change.

Work That Supports Your Life

• 35 hours of patient care per week
• 1 hour of team meetings and training (built into your schedule)
