Full-time Physical Therapist Assistants working under our 1099-tiered compensation model can earn up to $105,300 annually, based on visit volume.

Treat one patient at a time, manage your availability, and provide individualized care without the double-booking, productivity quotas, and clinic burnout common in traditional outpatient settings.

• Complete, accurate, and timely clinical documentation.
• Communicate with patients, families, supervising PTs, and members of the clinical team.
• Coordinate with our administrative team regarding scheduling, patient care, and logistics.
• Manage your caseload based on your availability and employment structure.
