What are the responsibilities and job description for the Certified Athletic Trainer position at Aris Physical Therapy?
ARIS is HIRING! Please check out our IG @arisphysicaltherapy or our website www.arispt.com. We are looking for Certified Athletic Trainers who thrive 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.
Our physical therapists are paired up with a physical therapist assistant or a certified/licensed athletic trainer to rehabilitate patients who have developed a dysfunction or have had an injury or surgery. We treat many different post-operative cases, which include non-surgical and surgical cases
We need an ATC/L who understands the importance of problem solving 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.
As noted above, 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.
Mentorship is extremely important for any new graduates that join our team! We want to share our knowledge and experience to achieve the best outcomes!

Our patients include grade school, high school, college, elite and professional athletes, as well as those who are working professionals from many different occupations. Our patients also include Firefighters and Police Officers! Of course, we also see those who are not involved in athletics and simply want to return to 100% of their abilities/function.
Whether our patients have had surgery or not, the goal is to progress our patients to the point where they are better in all aspects of function than they were before they were injured. This also includes their confidence to fully return to their work, sport or lifestyle. We are always working to continuously learn and improve as individuals and as a team!!!
