Physical Therapy Rehab Technician/PT Aide - Clinical Experience + Mentorship/Growth

Ready to Build Real Clinical Experience - Not Just Fill Time? - What if the months before your next step could actually move you closer to the career you want, instead of just paying the bills while you wait? If you are aiming for a future in physical therapy, medicine, nursing, PA, or another health profession, you already know the hard part. Everyone tells you to “get experience,” but most of the jobs open to you before graduate school barely let you near a patient. - You have probably seen the listings. “Rehab aide.” “PT tech.” Then you read the fine print and realize the day is mostly folding laundry, wiping down tables, and watching the clock while the people who actually treat patients never engage and share their knowledge. It does not have to go like that. - At Orthopaedics Plus, a Rehab Technician is part of the clinical team from day one. You work on the treatment floor, with patients, under the direction of fellowship-trained physical therapists who explain what they are doing and why. You leave with real patient-care hours, real skills, real references, and real clarity about the path you are chasing. We are a therapist-owned practice, and we build these roles the way we build our clinician roles: with structure, mentorship, and the belief that the people who work here should leave better than they arrived. Who We're Looking For: - Are you curious about how the body recovers, and do you want a front-row seat to watch it happen? Would you rather be handed real responsibility than left on the sidelines? - The Rehab Technicians who thrive at Orthopaedics Plus are dependable, humble, and genuinely interested in people. They stay engaged when the clinic gets busy, they ask good questions, and they look for the next thing that needs doing instead of waiting to be told. Many of them are exercise science, kinesiology, or pre-health students, recent graduates, or people taking a gap year before PT, PA, nursing, or medical school. What they share is simple: they want the time they spend here to move their future forward. If that sounds like you, we would love to meet you! Why Clinicians Are Joining Orthopaedics Plus: - Work That Actually Puts You Next to Patient Care: A lot of aide jobs keep you busy but keep you away from the reason you took the job. Here, your day is built around the treatment floor. You will greet patients by name, set them up with the exercises their therapist has prescribed, guide them through familiar movements, watch how they respond, and report what you see back to the PT. You are not observing healthcare from the waiting room. You are part of how it happens. - A Team That Teaches You On Purpose: We have reasonable productivity standards for our clinicians and that pace is intentional. It means the Physical Therapist you are working beside actually has time to explain what they are seeing, why they chose a particular exercise, and what a patient's movement is telling them. You will work alongside clinicians like Alex Trotsky, a fellowship-trained (FAAOMPT) manual therapist, on a team that treats teaching as part of the job. We would rather you understand the “why” than just execute the “what.” - Values That Show Up in the Work - *Meaningful Results* - Everyone leaves as a success story. You will watch patients walk in guarded and frustrated and, weeks later, move better and stand taller. You are part of that. - *Teamwork* - Collaboration leads to extraordinary results. PTs, Patient Care Coordinators, and Rehab Technicians run as one team here. When the floor gets busy, we cover for each other. You will not be left on your own. - *Education* - The best way to learn is to teach. The clinicians here explain their reasoning as they go. Before long, you will be able to explain to a patient how a movement should feel. - *Challenge the Status Quo* - Can we be better? You will be asked what you notice. If you spot a smoother way to run the floor, we want to hear it, and you will help update the same playboo…
