Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) at ARIS Physical Therapy Orthopedics And Sports Med.

ARIS Physical Therapy Orthopedics and Sports Medicine is a privately owned outpatient orthopedic practice located in Glendale, AZ. Our goal is to Deliver the very best Orthopedics and Sports Medicine service.

We are looking for a physical therapy assistant or certified/licensed athletic trainer who thrives in an educationally driven environment where we foster a functional teaching model. We invest a great deal of time educating our patients about anatomy, alignment, and functional biomechanics. From there we can reference what they have learned and help them learn and apply correct functional biomechanics in their daily lives, work, and sport. We need a PTA or ATC/L who knows how to problem solve as opposed to simply treating symptoms. We routinely take PT, PTA, and even M.D. interns because we love to teach and help our interns take the challenging patients who others were unable to help. Manual therapy and manually resisted activities are also a significant part of our success with our patients, which is necessary to improve and normalize mobility, flexibility and even to foster proprioception and neuromuscular recruitment.

In addition to our application of manual therapy, we educate/instruct/correct, coach our patients through a logical, skill-based progression. We start with fundamental positions and dynamic stabilization as a precursor to simple and complex movement patterns. Movement patterns without additional resistance, then with resistance as they become proficient.

Our patients include grade school, high school, college, elite and professional athletes, as well as those who are working professionals from many different occupations. Of course, we see those who are not involved in athletics and want to return to 100%. We see those who are hoping avoid surgery and those who underwent surgery.

A significant part of what we see post-operatively are in the areas of spine, shoulder complex, elbow, hip, knee, and ankle. Additionally, we work with shoulder, hip, knee, and even elbow replacements. Our goal is to continuously learn and improve as individuals and as a team!!!
