Job Description

Physical Therapy Assistant (PTA)

Virginia Beach, VA | Outpatient Sports & Spine
Full-Time Interest Encouraged | Start Part-Time (~20–25 hrs) and Grow to Full-Time

Thrive Proactive Health is seeking a licensed Physical Therapy Assistant to join our outpatient sport and spine private practice.

This role is ideal for a PTA who enjoys working with an active population and wants more than repetitive protocols. You’ll work in a collaborative, interdisciplinary clinic that blends Physical Therapy, Chiropractic, Acupuncture, Massage, and Fitness — with a strong emphasis on biomechanics and Postural Restoration® principles.

We are open to starting part-time (approximately 20–25 hours/week) with a structured pathway to full-time as caseload grows. Full-time interest is encouraged to apply. Active Virginia PTA License required.

Compensation

$30–$36/hour depending on experience
Opportunity for performance-based increases as caseload and contribution grow

What You’ll Do

• Deliver therapeutic interventions under the supervision of a licensed Physical Therapist

• Review plans of care and execute progressive treatment strategies

• Monitor patient response and communicate changes to supervising PT

• Support progression of exercise programs and functional retraining

• Maintain timely documentation within required standards

• Contribute to positive patient experience and retention

• Collaborate with interdisciplinary providers when appropriate

What Makes This Different

• Outpatient orthopedic and sport/spine focus

• Average daily flow supports quality care (not a mill model)

• Exposure to PRI-based assessment and interdisciplinary collaboration

• In-house mentorship and skill development

• Opportunity to grow into advanced PTA roles within the practice

Who Thrives Here

• PTA with outpatient ortho experience preferred

• Clinician who values strong communication and team collaboration

• Organized, dependable, and patient-centered

• Interested in growing clinically — not staying static

• Comfortable adapting within a busy but supportive environment

Why Thrive

We are a privately owned, Postural Restoration® Certified Center with a reputation for thoughtful care and strong team culture.

We value:

• Ownership

• Continuous Improvement

• Reliability

• Growth Mindset

• Customer-Centric Care

If you are looking for a place to build skills, contribute meaningfully, and grow into a full-time role within a stable and expanding practice, we would welcome your application.
