Action Rehabilitation & Sports Medicine is seeking a dedicated and energetic Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) to join our outpatient rehabilitation and sports medicine team in Grants Pass, Oregon.

We are a PRIVATELY OWNED PRACTICE FOCUSED ON PROVIDING EXCEPTIONAL, INDIVIDUALIZED CARE . Our approach allows our clinicians to spend meaningful time with each patient rather than working in a high-volume, rushed environment. We believe quality care starts with having the time to listen to patients, understand their goals, and provide hands-on guidance throughout their recovery.

As a PTA, you will work under the direction of a licensed Physical Therapist to provide evidence-based treatment to patients recovering from orthopedic injuries, sports-related conditions, post-operative procedures, and other musculoskeletal disorders.

• Provide skilled physical therapy interventions as outlined in the patient’s plan of care.
• Work closely with patients through individualized, one-on-one treatment sessions, therapeutic exercise, functional training, manual therapy techniques (as permitted by state law), balance and gait training, and therapeutic activities.
• Guide patients through their rehabilitation while taking the time to answer questions, provide encouragement, and help them understand their progress.
• Monitor patient progress and communicate changes to the supervising Physical Therapist.
• Educate patients on injury prevention, home exercise programs, wellness strategies, and return-to-activity goals.
• Accurately document patient treatments, progress, and outcomes using our electronic medical record system.
• Maintain a safe, clean, and organized treatment environment.
• Collaborate with the Physical Therapist and physicians to ensure the highest quality of care.
• Support a positive, team-oriented clinic culture while delivering outstanding customer service.
• Participate in staff meetings and continuing education opportunities to stay current with best practices.

QUALIFICATIONS:

• Graduate of an accredited Physical Therapist Assistant program.
• Current Oregon Physical Therapist Assistant license from the Oregon Board of Physical Therapy.
• Current CPR certification.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Strong attention to detail and organizational skills.
• Ability to motivate and connect with patients of all ages and activity levels.
• A genuine interest in providing quality, patient-centered care .

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• 1–2 years' experience in outpatient orthopedics or sports medicine- New graduates are welcome to apply.
• Familiarity with post-operative rehabilitation protocols.
• Experience treating athletes and active individuals.
• Proficiency with electronic medical records (EMR).

WHAT WE OFFER:

• $28–$32 PER HOUR , depending on experience and training.
• ONE-ON-ONE PATIENT CARE IN A LOWER-VOLUME, personalized clinical environment.
• A manageable daily patient schedule that supports quality patient care and documentation, and a HEALTHY WORK-LIFE BALANCE.
• Paid time off and paid holidays.
• Continuing education reimbursement and professional development opportunities.
• Retirement plan.
• The opportunity to work in a privately owned practice where patient care—not patient volume—is the priority.
