Job Description

Physical Therapist Assistant — Sharp Minds. Big Hearts. Slightly Questionable Humor. FYZICAL Therapy & Balance Centers | Mentor, Ohio
Do you notice the little things—when a movement changes, a cue finally clicks, or a patient does better when the exercise becomes a game? Do you enjoy figuring out how to help someone succeed—and celebrating with a terrible joke?
We should probably meet.
We’re a PT-owned and operated outpatient practice built around one-on-one care, thoughtful teamwork, and room to be yourself. The owner is also a treating PT who values a PTA’s observations, ideas, and contribution to patient progress.
Our caseload spans orthopedic, vestibular, balance, and neurological conditions, with plenty to keep your brain engaged. We have a soft spot for patients who haven’t found success elsewhere or have been told there’s little more anyone can do. They deserve another thoughtful effort and a fair chance at progress.
We’re looking for a PTA who thinks carefully, notices patterns, and brings treatment plans to life.
You might feel at home here if you:

• Enjoy helping challenging patients find a way forward.
• Get creative with exercises, cues, and activities within the PT’s plan of care.
• Notice changes in patient response and communicate them to the supervising PT.
• Ask thoughtful questions, share observations, and enjoy learning.
• Pair warmth and humor with dependable documentation and teamwork.

You’ll work closely with the PT to carry out individualized treatment, discuss patient responses, and help turn clinical goals into meaningful accomplishments.
Expect shared discoveries, clinical rabbit holes, and occasional debates about whether an activity is brilliant or just unnecessarily complicated.
You don’t need to know everything. You do need to care deeply, stay curious, and follow through.
Put your energy into patients.We use AI-assisted documentation to make the paperwork easier and give you more room to focus on treatment, connection, and the details that matter.
You bring accurate observations and review the final note. AI helps with the typing.
Our mission: Provide world-class care at the lowest possible cost—and have the most fun possible along the way.
Requirements: Active Ohio PTA license or eligibility before starting, thoughtful treatment skills, and compassionate communication.
Send your résumé to View email address on ziprecruiter.com   and a short note about what part of patient care gets you excited—or a creative treatment idea you’re proud of.
