Job description

Power in Movement was founded by Dr. Grace Schwemmer, because the standard model is broken. No double-booking. No corporate nonsense. We treat one patient at a time, out of real gyms in the heart of Denver, with clinicians who care more about outcomes than throughput.

Our clients are CrossFitters, lifters, runners, and competitive athletes who find us through word of mouth because the people we treat actually get better. This role is based at DTC CrossFit in South Denver, where you'll treat the gym's members and the wider athlete community. We're growing, and we need the right person to grow with us.

About the Role:

Full-time, salaried position. One patient at a time. You treat real people in a real gym, with the time and freedom to do the work right. Weekly mentorship with Grace keeps you sharp. No micromanagement. No guesswork. Just great PT.

What You'll Do

• Treat people, not diagnoses. Run thorough assessments. Build custom programs. Deliver hands‑on care that actually changes outcomes.
• Build your book. Develop and retain a caseload through exceptional care, community presence, and referrals. Your clinical results are your best marketing.
• Show up where clients train. Work out of DTC CrossFit in South Denver. You're embedded in the gym community, not isolated in a clinic. This is a CrossFit gym, and our members see providers who train the way they do, so you need to be an active athlete yourself, training CrossFit, Hyrox, or something comparable.
• Help grow the brand. Contribute to social media, community events, and outreach. You don't need a massive following, but you should be comfortable being visible and playing a role in how we reach new people.
• Collaborate, don't compete. Work alongside a small, tight team that shares ideas, challenges each other, and wants everyone to get better.

First 30 Days

• Learn our systems, standards, and clinical approach.
• Build relationships with existing clients and the gym communities.
• Begin treating with mentorship support.

By Day 60

• Carry a growing caseload with solid retention.
• Contribute to marketing and community engagement.
• Operate with increasing independence.

By Day 90

• Run a steady, self-directed caseload at DTC CrossFit.
• Deliver measurable client outcomes.

Need to Have:

• Licensure: Active Colorado PT license (Doctorate in Physical Therapy required)
• Clinical foundation: Strong background in strength and conditioning
• Sports background: You've competed in or trained seriously for a sport, and you understand what it takes to push performance, not just manage pain. CrossFit or Hyrox membership required for this location, or willingness to join.
• Visibility: Comfort with social media and basic marketing
• Communication: Skills that make clients feel heard, not processed
• Caseload ownership: The drive to build and retain a full caseload through quality work

Nice to Have:

• Certifications: CSCS, dry needling, or other advanced modalities
• Background: Sports rehab or performance training
• Experience: Pelvic floor experience preferred
• Community: An existing presence in Denver's fitness/wellness scene (helpful, not required)

Schedule + Compensation:

• 3 months as a 1099 employee, $95 per appointment, then option to move to full-time, salaried position
• $80,000 to $100,000 per year, based on experience
• Standard full-time schedule at DTC CrossFit, with the flexibility to meet client and location needs
