What is a remote physical therapist assistant?

A remote physical therapist assistant (PTA) is a licensed healthcare professional who supports physical therapists in providing patient care through virtual platforms. Instead of meeting with patients in person, remote PTAs work with patients via video calls, phone calls, or specialized telehealth software. Their responsibilities include guiding patients through exercises, monitoring progress, educating patients on treatment plans, and communicating updates to supervising physical therapists. This role allows PTAs to reach patients who may have difficulty visiting clinics, such as those living in remote areas or with mobility challenges. Remote PTAs must still adhere to state licensing regulations and often work under the direction of a licensed physical therapist.

How does a remote physical therapist assistant typically collaborate with supervising physical therapists and patients?

As a Remote Physical Therapist Assistant, you will regularly communicate with supervising physical therapists through video calls, messaging platforms, and shared documentation tools to discuss patient progress and treatment adjustments. You’ll guide patients through prescribed exercises virtually, monitor their form and progress, and report outcomes to the supervising therapist. Building strong communication skills and being comfortable with telehealth technology are essential for effective collaboration and patient support in this remote setting.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a remote physical therapist assistant, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Remote Physical Therapist Assistant, you need a background in physical therapy, an associate's degree from an accredited program, and a valid state licensure or certification. Familiarity with telehealth platforms, electronic medical records (EMR), and secure communication tools is essential. Excellent interpersonal skills, self-motivation, and clear virtual communication make a candidate stand out in this remote role. These skills and qualities ensure effective patient care, regulatory compliance, and strong collaboration within a digital healthcare environment.

Both roles require licensure, but PTs hold a higher level of education and licensing, enabling them to perform more complex assessments and treatments.

Stern at Home Therapy is hiring Physical Therapist Assistants (PTAs) to provide one-on-one physical therapy treatments to patients in their homes throughout the Bronx, NY.


Whether you're looking for a steady part-time caseload with W-2 benefits or a full-time career with a salary, W-2 per-visit, or 1099 contractor options, we offer multiple ways to build a role that fits your goals.


Full-time Physical Therapist Assistants working under our 1099 tiered compensation model have the potential to earn up to $105,300 annually, based on visit volume.


Treat one patient at a time, manage your availability, and provide individualized care without the double-booking, productivity quotas, and clinic burnout common in traditional outpatient settings.


What You'll Do

As a Physical Therapist Assistant with Stern at Home Therapy, you will provide one-on-one physical therapy treatments to a primarily geriatric patient population in their homes throughout the Bronx.


You will work under the supervision of licensed Physical Therapists who provide remote clinical oversight and establish each patient's plan of care. PTAs do not perform evaluations in this role, allowing you to focus on delivering treatments and helping patients progress toward their established goals.


Responsibilities include:

  • Provide one-on-one physical therapy treatments in patients' homes.
  • Carry out individualized treatment plans established by the supervising Physical Therapist.
  • Work closely with remote supervising PTs regarding patient progress, changes in condition, and treatment recommendations.
  • Help patients improve mobility, strength, balance, safety, and overall function.
  • Complete, accurate, and timely clinical documentation.
  • Communicate with patients, families, supervising PTs, and members of the clinical team.
  • Coordinate with our administrative team regarding scheduling, patient care, and logistics.
  • Manage your caseload based on your availability and employment structure.


Compensation:

We offer multiple compensation options based on your preferred employment structure.


Part-Time W-2:

  • $35-$50 per visit, based on the tiered compensation structure.


Full-Time W-2 Tiered Per-Visit Option:

  • $35-$50 per visit.
  • Earn more per visit as you move through the tiered compensation structure.


Full-Time 1099 Tiered Contractor Option:

  • $50-$60 per visit.
  • Earn more per visit as you move through the tiered compensation structure.
  • Earning potential of up to $105,300 annually, based on visit volume.


Full-Time Salary Option:

  • $58,000-$75,000 annually.


Benefits:

Eligible W-2 employees may receive:

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
  • PTO and paid holidays.
  • 401(k) with employer match.
  • CEU support.
  • Student loan assistance.
  • Childcare assistance.
  • Wellness stipend.
  • Commuter stipend.
  • Mileage reimbursement.
  • Equipment provided.


Why Join Stern at Home Therapy?

  • Choose from part-time W-2, full-time salary, W-2 tiered per-visit, or 1099 tiered contractor opportunities.
  • Earn up to $105,300 annually under the full-time 1099 tiered compensation model, based on visit volume.
  • One-on-one patient care with no double-booking.
  • Work with remote supervising Physical Therapists who establish plans of care and provide clinical oversight.
  • Flexible scheduling and control over your availability.
  • No unnecessary micromanagement.
  • Dedicated administrative support for scheduling, coordination, and patient logistics.
  • Shadowing available for PTAs who are newer to home health.


Qualifications:

  • An active Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) license in New York is required.
  • Reliable transportation required.
  • Strong clinical, communication, and time-management skills.
  • Ability to work independently in a home-based setting while collaborating with remote supervising Physical Therapists.
  • Home health experience is preferred but not required.
