Job description

About Epic Physical Therapy

Epic Physical Therapy is PT-owned, which means the therapists treating patients also have a say in how the clinic is run. Owner Ryan Palkoner has 20 years of practice experience across Florida, California, and Colorado, has served as Ironman medical staff, and lectures nationally on manual release technique. He's seen enough clinics to know what makes one work well for both patients and staff. The practice puts substantial weight behind mentorship and professional development, and clinics consistently perform in the top tier nationally on patient outcomes.

Compensation Package

This role pays $80,000–$89,360 a year. We take mentorship seriously, giving you the support to grow toward the upper end of that range. As you grow your caseload, you'll help more patients and earn more. You won't be figuring it out alone.

In addition we provide:

• $1,500 Sign On. Eligibility

• Unlimited continuing education funds, plus a $500 travel stipend

• $12,000 fellowship reimbursement

• 17 days of PTO in year one, increasing with tenure

• $10,000 in tax-free student loan repayment over 5 years, paid monthly

• Relocation assistance available

Benefits

On top of that, you get the standard package, done right:

• Medical insurance, with the clinic covering roughly 75% of your premium

• HSA option with employer contributions

• 401(k) with an employer match that vests immediately

• Dental and vision insurance

• Short-term disability and life insurance options

Why Clinicians Choose Epic Physical Therapy

At Epic Physical Therapy you’ll get more than a job. You’ll get a career path, mentorship, and the chance to work in one of the country’s most beautiful regions. Some highlights:

Life in Highlands Ranch

Highlands Ranch puts you close to Denver's job market, dining, and nightlife (about 15-20 minutes to Denver Tech Center, 25-30 to downtown) while keeping you near the foothills for hiking, biking, and skiing access. It's quieter and more suburban than city living with a walkable town center, well-kept trails, and reliably low crime and with easy runs into Denver or Littleton when you want more action. For professionals who want mountain access without sacrificing career opportunities, it's a solid landing spot.

• Evaluating patients and building individualized, evidence‑based treatment plans

• Hands‑on interventions through manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and specialty modalities

• Teaching patients and their families about recovery, home exercise, and injury prevention

• Tracking progress and adjusting plans as patients progress

• Collaborating with other healthcare providers to ensure comprehensive care

• Documenting in line with HIPAA and state and federal rules, using AI tools that cut down on paperwork instead of adding to it
