If you are considering a career in physical therapy, athletic training, or another rehab science, this is one of the best positions available to build your foundation. As a PT Tech at Paragon Physical Therapy, you will work directly alongside experienced, specialty-certified physical therapists in a one-on-one clinical environment — observing and assisting with hands-on care that most techs at larger clinics simply never get to see.
This is not a front-desk job. You will be on the clinic floor, learning from clinicians who practice at a genuinely advanced level, every day.

✓ Assist physical therapists with patient setup, exercise instruction, and equipment preparation
✓ Observe and support one-on-one treatment sessions across a broad range of orthopedic and neurological conditions
✓ Maintain a clean, organized, and fully stocked treatment environment
✓ Help patients with check-in, exercise programs, and general clinic flow
✓ Support administrative tasks including scheduling and patient communication as needed
✓ Participate in clinic education — we actively teach our techs about what we’re doing and why
What You’ll Be Exposed To
Working at Paragon gives you clinical exposure that is genuinely uncommon for a tech position. You will regularly observe:
✓ Fascial Manipulation — Stecco Method (Levels I–IV)
✓ Dry Needling — trigger point, static, and neuropathic techniques
✓ Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Training
✓ Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) golf assessments
✓ Vestibular Rehabilitation and vertigo treatment
✓ Post-Surgical Orthopedic Rehabilitation
✓ Pelvic Health Physical Therapy
Qualifications
✓ Currently enrolled in or planning to pursue PT, OT, athletic training, exercise science, or a related program — OR a strong demonstrated interest in rehab science as a career
✓ Reliable, punctual, and professional in a clinical setting
✓ Strong communication and interpersonal skills — you will interact with patients daily
✓ Ability to stay organized and manage multiple tasks in a fast-moving environment
✓ No prior clinical experience required — enthusiasm and work ethic matter most
What We Offer
✓ $13–$15/hour based on experience
✓ Part-time or full-time scheduling based on your availability
✓ Monday–Friday only — no evenings, no weekends
✓ Direct daily exposure to advanced, specialty-certified physical therapy
✓ Clinical observation hours for PT/OT/ATC school applications
✓ Letters of recommendation available for qualified applicants
✓ A supportive team that actively invests in your professional growth
