About The Position
Physical Therapist Assistant Opportunity: Full-time, permanent position Schedule: Day Shift Physical Therapist Assistant assists physical therapists in implementing treatment plans by helping patients perform exercises, therapeutic activities, and modalities to improve mobility, strength, and function.

Educates patients on home exercise programs and proper body mechanics to prevent injury, reduce pain, and promote long-term recovery outside the clinic setting. About the Location: A slower pace of life with plenty of room to breathe, where neighbors tend to know each other and community ties run strong. Easy access to nature—lakes, rivers, and forested areas—making it simple to slip away for fishing, hiking, or quiet scenic drives. A cost of living that feels manageable, with housing options that don’t require big-city budgets. A mix of locally owned shops, family-run restaurants, and community events that give everyday routines a friendly, familiar feel.
