Personal fulfillment comes from being happy where you are and having the time to enjoy it. We get it! We have a saying at Fyzical Lockport that we prioritize: 1-God, 2-Family, 3-Work.

At Fyzical Lockport, we prioritize personalized care and strive to achieve 1 on 1 treatment at as many appointments as possible. If you are ready to launch your career with a company that is unmatched in the PT arena and has the appeal of small ownership yet big company resources, apply for FYZICAL Lockport's part-time Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) job opening today!

Feel secure knowing you are backed by a supportive practice leader who has chosen you to be part of an elite group of professionals capable of achieving next-level results. Enjoy the easy flow of a team that comes together to learn what works best for the practice and the community, and uses state-of-the-art technology to put those plans into action. Have the freedom to look past traditional approaches to PT, taking a new, innovative path instead — one that will make a lasting impact in the industry. As a Therapist with us, you will have access to exciting, cutting-edge tools and advanced continuing education that will positively change your outlook, providing you with new and unique perspectives of physical therapy, and career advancement opportunities.
