Physical Therapy Assistant Jobs in Arizona: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a physical therapy assistant in Arizona?
You must hold an active license issued by the Arizona State Board of Physical Therapy to practice as a physical therapy assistant in Arizona. The path requires completing an accredited associate degree program in physical therapy assisting and passing the National Physical Therapy Examination for PTAs administered by the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy. Once licensed, Arizona requires ongoing continuing education for renewal.
Which companies hire physical therapy assistants in Arizona?
Arizona physical therapy assistant roles are posted by OrthoArizona, Angels Care Home Health, and Athletico Physical Therapy and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Arizona's large integrated health systems and post-acute care networks tend to post the highest volumes of openings across the Phoenix metro and Tucson regions.
Which Arizona cities have the most physical therapy assistant jobs?
Phoenix, Tucson, and Chandler lead Arizona for physical therapy assistant openings. Phoenix drives the largest share given its dense concentration of hospital systems, outpatient clinic networks, and senior living communities, while Tucson and Scottsdale reflect strong demand from university-affiliated medical centers and high-volume orthopedic and sports medicine practices serving those areas.
Are there remote physical therapy assistant jobs in Arizona?
Yes, but they're rare. Physical therapy assistant work is fundamentally hands-on, so the vast majority of roles require on-site patient care. About 3% of physical therapy assistant openings tied to Arizona are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions typically involve telehealth care coordination or administrative oversight rather than direct patient treatment.
How can I get hired as a physical therapy assistant in Arizona with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying directly to new-graduate positions at Arizona's larger health systems, particularly Banner Health and Dignity Health, which regularly bring on new PTAs through structured clinical onboarding programs. Roles like rehabilitation aide or therapy technician at Arizona hospitals or skilled nursing facilities are common stepping stones that build hands-on familiarity with patient populations. Holding an active Arizona PTA license and current BLS certification before applying gives candidates a measurable edge over those still in the credentialing process.
Where can I find and apply to physical therapy assistant jobs in Arizona?
You can find and apply to physical therapy assistant jobs in Arizona on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Search the listings to find roles that fit your experience, specialty, and preferred location, then apply directly to the ones that match.
