Physical Therapy Assistant Job in Franklin, NC

Nantahala Physical Therapy is hiring for a Physical Therapy Assistant job in Franklin, NC, and we’re looking for a compassionate, motivated clinician who wants to make a meaningful difference in patients’ lives. You’ll work closely with our physical therapists to provide individualized, evidence-based care that helps people regain function, reduce pain, and return to the activities they love. Whether you’re a new graduate or an experienced PTA, you’ll be part of a privately owned practice where patient care, teamwork, and your professional growth all matter.

Patient Care Without Productivity Pressure

Our approach is centered on individualized care and a welcoming patient experience. As a PTA, you’ll carry out treatment plans established by the supervising Physical Therapist and provide one-on-one therapeutic exercise, manual therapy as appropriate, neuromuscular re-education, and functional training. You’ll monitor patient progress, communicate changes with the supervising therapist, educate patients on home exercise programs and injury prevention, and document care accurately in the electronic medical record.

Just as important, we want you to have the opportunity to focus on the people you’re treating. Our practice is committed to patient-focused care without productivity pressure, and we believe our team members should feel valued, supported, and empowered to provide exceptional service. You’ll work collaboratively with physical therapists, other PTAs, and office staff to create a positive team culture and help every patient receive outstanding care.

Franklin offers a setting that makes the work-life balance especially appealing.
