Apply to be a Strength and Conditioning Specialist at Ascent Physical Therapy

Ascent Physical Therapist, PLLC is looking to hire a Strength and Conditioning Coach to join our fast-growing team. Based in North Massapequa, Long Island, we’re looking for a committed and energetic Strength and Conditioning expert to provide world-class services to our clients. Success in this role will be measured upon successful treatment outcomes, customer satisfaction, timely and accurate documentation of clinical notes, as well as meticulous attention paid to current and former clients. 

​

We are a low-volume, cash-based clinic where treatment is not dictated by insurance companies. Your days will be spent helping clients one-on-one (not writing notes) to reach their fullest potential. You will be working with highly motivated people who value their health and time. And most of all, your own growth and personal development will always be a top priority.
