Physical Therapy Assistant - Southern South Carolina

Physical Therapy Assistant (PTA) Special Focus: Neurological Rehabilitation, Balance & Fall Prevention

We are seeking a compassionate and skilled Physical Therapy Assistant (PTA) to join our dynamic rehabilitation team. While this role includes treating a diverse patient population, there is a strong emphasis on neurological conditions, balance training, and fall risk reduction .

This is an excellent opportunity for a PTA with a passion for working with patients facing mobility challenges—especially those recovering from stroke, Parkinson’s disease, vestibular disorders, or age-related balance decline.

Key Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with Physical Therapists to implement individualized treatment plans for patients with a wide range of diagnoses
• Provide hands-on support during therapeutic exercises, gait training, and balance-focused interventions
• Assist in neuromuscular re-education, proprioceptive training, and functional mobility exercises
• Monitor and document patient performance, reporting observations to the supervising PT
• Educate patients and caregivers on home exercise programs, fall prevention strategies, and safety awareness
• Contribute to a patient-centered, outcome-driven care environment
• Ensure treatment sessions are conducted safely, efficiently, and with compassion

Preferred Clinical Experience:

• Neurological rehabilitation (e.g., stroke, brain injury, Parkinson’s)
• Vestibular and balance dysfunction
• Fall risk assessment and prevention strategies
• Familiarity with standardized assessments

Qualifications:

• Graduate of an accredited PTA program
• Current PTA license (or eligible) in the state of practice
• Strong clinical judgment and understanding of therapeutic best practices
• Excellent communication, time management, and patient engagement skills
• Passion for helping patients regain independence and confidence

What We Offer:

• Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits
• Continuing education opportunities
• Supportive interdisciplinary team environment
• Opportunity to make a meaningful impact in the lives of patients at risk for falls or living with neurological impairments

If you're a PTA who thrives on helping patients improve mobility, reduce fall risk, and rebuild confidence, we’d love to hear from you.
