Job description

We're looking for a Physical Therapist Assistant to Join the Movement!

We built Highbar for clinicians who want clarity, support, and a sustainable career, not just another offer.

Peak Physical Therapy & Sports Performance, a proud affiliate of Highbar Physical Therapy, is a premier, PT-led outpatient practice across New England. We are a teaching practice by design, focused on empowering clinicians to practice at the top of their license while delivering exceptional patient care. Our care model is intentionally designed to prioritize clinical autonomy, reasonable caseload expectations, and built-in mentorship, so Clinicians can grow confidently without burning out.

What Your Day Actually Looks Like at Peak

We believe clarity builds trust. Here's what you can expect:

• Patient volume: Lower than industry norms, our expectations are less than 13 patients per day
• Visit structure: 1:1 patient care
• Documentation: AI-supported documentation + Prompt EMR to reduce after-hours documentation
• Schedules: Predictable, thoughtfully built schedules
• Collaboration: You'll work closely with Physical Therapists as part of a tight-knit care team, collaborating on treatment plans while having autonomy and managing your daily schedule and patient flow
• Support staff: Exercise Specialists to support treatment flow so you can focus on providing the highest level of patient care.

If something starts to creep toward burnout, leadership intervenes early. That's part of the job design - not an afterthought.

Mentorship & Professional Development

We are a teaching practice by design. Professional development is part of your workweek—not something you squeeze in to meet your CEU requirements:

• 2 paid mentorship hours/week for your first 12 weeks
• Structured onboarding with a Clinic Director + Peer Mentor
• Monthly Skillz meetings (onsite CE, every month)
• Core-4 Series and COMT Pathways to align clinical decision-making and PATTOTL principles
• Specialty SIGs (Pelvic Health, Sports, Neuro, Vestibular, Pediatrics, and more)

We invest
$7,000+ in your professional development in your first 18-24 months!

You'll Thrive at Peak if You Value:

• Practicing as a clinician, not a productivity unit
• Autonomy paired with real support
• Clear expectations around workload and growth
• Leadership with clinical backgrounds
• Feedback that's welcomed and acted on

What You'll Need:

• Degree from a CAPTE-accredited Physical Therapist Assistant program
• Active PTA license (or eligibility to obtain one)
• A desire to grow clinically, contribute to a team, and practice thoughtfully

  If you're early in your career or looking for a healthier long-term home, we encourage you to explore Peak and take the time you need to make sure it's the right fit.

  We are redefining what outpatient physical therapy can feel like, for clinicians and patients alike. Our clinicians practice at the top of their license, serve as musculoskeletal primary care providers, and grow through clearly defined clinical and leadership pathways.
