Oregon, a vibrant suburb in the Portland metropolitan area known
for its convenient access to both city amenities and outstanding
outdoor recreation. Clackamas offers easy access to shopping and
dining at popular retail centers, nearby parks and trails, and a
short drive to downtown Portlands cultural scene, restaurants, and
entertainment. Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy being within reach of the
Oregon Coast, the Columbia River Gorge, and Mount Hood for
year-round hiking, skiing, and adventure. The area offers a strong
sense of community, quality schools, and an active, health-focused
lifestyle.The clinic is a modern outpatient physical therapy
setting designed to support high-quality, evidence-based care. You
will work alongside a collaborative team of Physical Therapists,
PTAs, and support staff in a setting that emphasizes mentorship,
continuous learning, and patient-centered outcomes. The environment
is fast-paced yet supportive, with streamlined processes and an EMR
system that allows you to focus on direct patient care.As a PTA in
this role, you will implement treatment plans established by a
supervising Physical Therapist, focusing on restoring function,
reducing pain, and improving quality of life for a variety of
patients. Typical patient populations include individuals with
orthopaedic injuries, post-surgical conditions, sports-related
issues, work-related injuries, and chronic musculoskeletal
conditions. You will guide patients through therapeutic exercises,
functional training, and appropriate manual techniques within your
scope, while ensuring safe and effective progress toward their
goals.A typical day may include seeing a steady caseload of
scheduled patients across a full shift, with time dedicated to both
hands-on care and timely documentation. You will monitor patient
responses, communicate changes to the supervising PT, and adjust
exercises and activities as directed. Patient education is a key
component of the role, including instruction on home exercise
programs, posture and body mechanics, and lifestyle modifications
that support recovery.The clinic emphasizes teamwork, open
communication, and a professional yet friendly atmosphere. Newer
clinicians can expect support and guidance, while experienced PTAs
can take on more complex caseloads, mentoring opportunities, or
specialized program involvement. There is an emphasis on utilizing
up-to-date treatment approaches and maintaining high clinical
standards, making this a strong resume-building opportunity for
PTAs who are looking to grow in outpatient practice.Shifts

some early evening availability to accommodate patient schedules.
Full-time hours generally involve a consistent weekly schedule,
with flexibility discussed at the clinic level. Patient flow is
structured to allow meaningful one-on-one interactions, while still
