Job description

Per Diem Work, Without the Corporate Caseload

Anderson Sport and Wellness is a cash-pay outpatient orthopedic practice in Newport Beach treating a highly active, athletic population alongside specialized neurological, concussion, and vestibular cases. We've built something rare: a 6-patients-a-day model with an active waitlist — real demand, not a caseload you build from scratch.

We're looking for a clinically strong professional to join our team on a per diem basis. What sets our practice apart is our proprietary treatment approach. Our specialized exercise protocols and technology are the reason we deliver consistent results, achieving a 90% success rate with complex cases. We're looking for someone who brings strong clinical judgment and is open to incorporating our technology into patient care.

What the Role Looks Like

• Streamlined onboarding — live with patients the same day
• Caseload of just 6 patients per day — compared to the industry standard of 12–20
• 60–90 minute appointments, instead of the standard 15–20, allowing for more comprehensive care
• Charting time built into your shift, so documentation doesn't follow you home
• Significantly reduced physical wear and tear on your body, thanks to the effectiveness of our proprietary technology
• Shift flexibility tailored to your availability — no minimum commitment
• Treatment built around our technology integration

Required Qualifications

• Licensed PT with 1–2 years of outpatient orthopedic clinical experience (3+ preferred)
• Demonstrated clinical independence, sound clinical judgment, and a strong track record of excellent patient outcomes

Preferred Qualifications

• Vestibular/concussion experience is a plus, but not required
• Willingness to learn and consistently incorporate our established protocols, proprietary exercises, and technology into patient care
