Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA)

Dear Physical Therapist Assistant,

Most PTA job postings will tell you the same thing:
“Competitive pay. Great team. Growth opportunities.”

But if you’ve been in this field—even for a short time—you know that’s not the full story.

The real challenges?
Endless documentation. Productivity pressure. Feeling rushed instead of present with your patients.

This is not one of those jobs.

Whether you’re a new grad looking for mentorship and confidence…
or an experienced PTA ready to enjoy this profession again…

There is a better way to practice.

Why PTAs Choose Orthopedic and Balance Therapy Specialists

6-Time Winner: Best Physical Therapy in the Region

We’ve been voted Best PT in NW Indiana 6 years in a row—not just for outcomes, but for the experience we create for both patients and our team.

AI-Powered EMR = Get Your Time Back

Most clinics are still stuck in outdated systems.

We use the most modern AI-powered EMR in the industry, significantly reducing documentation time—so you can focus on patient care and actually leave work on time.

Built for Both New Grads & Experienced PTAs

If You’re a New Grad:

• Structured onboarding + mentorship
• A supportive environment where questions are encouraged
• Clear expectations so you can build confidence quickly

If You’re Experienced:

• Autonomy and trust in your clinical skills
• A system designed to reduce burnout—not add to it
• The chance to reconnect with why you chose this profession

Compensation That Outperforms the Market

Most PTA roles in our area fall in the $25–$30/hour range.

At OBTS, we’ve built a model where you can go beyond that:

• Target: 50 visits per week
• Bonus potential: Up to $10,000 annually
• Profit sharing: Teams are trending toward up to 10% of annual salary
• Your performance and impact are directly rewarded

A Culture You Can Feel (Not Just Words)

We don’t just say “great culture”—we invest in it.

• Quarterly team bonding events
• A team that supports, pushes, and celebrates each other
• A shared mission: “Creating WOW experiences at every visit”

Flexibility & Control

• Design your schedule
• Manage your day
• Take ownership of your time without micromanagement

Transparency You Can Trust

We practice open-book management, so you understand how the business performs—and how your role contributes to its success.

Who This Is For

This is for the PTA who:

• Wants to grow (or grow again) in their career
• Values being part of a positive, high-performing team
• Takes pride in delivering exceptional patient care
• Is ready for a better work environment
