About The Position

Inner Circle Physical Therapy and Myofascial Release Center focuses on each patient as an individual. We use a hands-on approach to healing centered on myofascial release and other manual therapies. These authentic treatments add the “missing link” to rehabilitative needs restoring flexibility and reducing the “straightjacket” of restrictions affecting the patients’ bodies. By drawing on decades of experience, Inner Circle has discovered the most effective treatments are not modalities such as ultrasound, lasers, or heat therapy, but rather the power of touch and a hands-on approach to healing. We are looking for a licensed Physical Therapist Assistant to join our practice and provide therapy and rehabilitation services to patients in our facility. We currently have 5 PTs and two PT assistants on staff all of which have been with us for 12+ years due to our positive, progressive work environment. Inner Circle is a place where we are constantly learning and improving and would like to add somebody who is openminded, very interested in the manual aspect, very self-aware and willing to continuously learn. The ideal candidate is a compassionate healer who is passionate about their patient’s wellness and committed to help them find their mobility and independence.
