Physical Therapist Assistant

Tired of seeing 3-4 patients an hour, triple-booked evals, and charting until 9 pm? Ready for 10-12 patients max, true 1-on-1 care, and finishing notes before you leave the clinic? Want to practice in beautiful Traverse City at northern Michigan's highest-rated physical therapy clinic? You're an exceptional physical therapist assistant (or PT). You chose this profession to genuinely help people heal—not to function like a billing machine, racing through 18-22 visits a day while feeling guilty for rushing complex cases out the door. You're burned out from: → 90-100%+ productivity quotas that punish extra time with a tough post-op shoulder → Corporate metrics over patient outcomes → Going home exhausted, missing family time to finish notes → Wondering how long you can sustain this without complete burnout We've been exactly where you are. Six months ago, we got 1-2 applications a week—mostly new grads who disappeared after the first call. Then we stopped writing bland corporate ads and started telling the truth about our clinic. Now we receive 4-6 qualified, experienced applicants every week—and we've had to turn strong candidates away. Here's the real deal at Superior Physical Therapy in

Traverse City:

→ Max 10-12 patients per day — never double-booked, always true 1-on-1 → 40-60 minute visits — YOU control the plan of care, not insurance algorithms → Documentation done before you leave — our best-in-class AI scribe + templates mean most notes finish in under 4 minutes → No nights, no weekends, no on-call, no holidays → 3 weeks PTO from year one (and we genuinely encourage you to take it) → Top 10% compensation in Michigan + meaningful profit-sharing bonuses (team averaged $12k-$22k extra last year) → Full benefits : health, dental, 401k match, generous CEU budget for whatever courses excite you → Real mentorship — weekly with owners who still treat full caseloads and built the region's top-rated clinic (4.9/5 Google, 98%+ patient recommendations) And then there's Traverse City life : While colleagues in Grand Rapids or Detroit fight traffic, you can: → Live 10 minutes from work on Old Mission Peninsula or Leelanau → Ski, fat-tire bike, or hit the trails at lunch in winter → Kayak Boardman Lake before your first patient in summer → Enjoy world-class wineries, farm-to-table dining, and excellent schools in a low-crime community → Earn upper-quartile Michigan pay while everyone else assumes you "took a pay cut to move north" We're not for everyone. If you thrive on 25+ patients a day and chasing RVUs, this isn't the fit—we'll both be frustrated. But if you still light up when a 65-year-old patient finally walks without a cane because of your care… If you want energy left at the end of the day for your family, hobbies, or that fly rod… If you're ready to deliver elite-level therapy without compromising your values… Superior Physical Therapy could be your last career move.
