Physical Therapy Assistant Jobs in Pennsylvania: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a physical therapy assistant in Pennsylvania?
You must earn an associate degree from a Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education accredited Physical Therapist Assistant program, then pass the National Physical Therapy Examination for PTAs administered by the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy. After passing, you apply for licensure through the Pennsylvania State Board of Physical Therapy, which is part of the Bureau of Professional and Occupational Affairs. Pennsylvania requires active licensure before you can work clinically as a physical therapy assistant.
Which companies hire physical therapy assistants in Pennsylvania?
Companies currently hiring physical therapy assistants in Pennsylvania include Powerback Rehabilitation, Phoenix Physical Therapy, and Symbria, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Pennsylvania's large integrated health systems and post-acute care networks generate some of the most consistent openings in the state, particularly in the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh metro areas.
Which Pennsylvania cities have the most physical therapy assistant jobs?
Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and Allentown have the most physical therapy assistant openings in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia leads because of its dense concentration of hospital systems, outpatient clinics, and long-term care facilities, while Pittsburgh's strength in post-acute and rehabilitation care drives demand there, and smaller cities like Allentown benefit from large regional health networks and a growing geriatric population in the Lehigh Valley.
Are there remote physical therapy assistant jobs in Pennsylvania?
Yes, but they're rare. Physical therapy assistant work is inherently hands-on, requiring direct patient contact for exercises, manual therapy, and functional mobility training. About 0% of physical therapy assistant openings tied to Pennsylvania are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those roles tend to involve documentation support, telehealth care coordination, or administrative functions rather than direct patient treatment.
How can I get hired as a physical therapy assistant in Pennsylvania with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying directly to health systems and post-acute care networks that run new-graduate onboarding programs, including UPMC, Jefferson Health, and Genesis Healthcare, all of which regularly bring on newly licensed PTAs and provide structured mentorship under supervising physical therapists. Working as a physical therapy aide or rehabilitation technician first is a common route that gives candidates direct exposure to clinical settings before licensure. Having your Pennsylvania State Board of Physical Therapy license in hand before applying, even without prior paid experience, gives you a clear advantage over unlicensed candidates.
Where can I find and apply to physical therapy assistant jobs in Pennsylvania?
You can find and apply to physical therapy assistant jobs in Pennsylvania on Migrate Mate, which lists current Pennsylvania openings across health systems, outpatient clinics, skilled nursing facilities, and home health agencies. Search the listings to find roles that match your specialization and location, then apply directly to the ones that fit your background.
