At Quad City Physical Therapy & Spine, our number one priority is the patient. We strive to provide individualized treatment with hands-on, compassionate care. We do not rush our patients or our clinicians. Rather, we perform comprehensive evaluations and encourage patient input for treatment planning and goal setting.

Our therapy ethos centers on personalized care and education, driven by word-of-mouth referrals and family physicians rather than orthopedic affiliations. Specializing in vestibular dysfunction, TMJ/jaw pain, and SIJ dysfunction for an older demographic, our approach emphasizes individualized interventions for lasting wellness.

We are currently seeking a PRN Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) to support our Physical Therapists with patient care. Specific job responsibilities will include the following under the supervision of the Physical Therapist:

  • Patient observation before, during and after therapy, noting the status and reporting it to the Physical Therapist.
  • Assisting the patient with specific exercises as per the plan of care.
  • Graduate from a CAPTE accredited Physical Therapist Assistant Program.
  • One or more years of outpatient orthopedic experience within a private clinic or hospital preferred but new grads are welcome to apply
  • Current state of Iowa Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) license, CPR certification.
  • Competitive hourly compensation
  • Monday- Friday schedule
  • Training and support
  • Clinic mentorship
  • Opportunities for professional development, specialization, and leadership
  • Employee discount plans
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
  • Family-friendly work environment
