Now Hiring Physical Therapist Hockessin, DE

Performance Physical Therapy was founded on a simple belief: treat patients like family, and the rest will follow. Thirty years later, that belief still defines who we are. As a PT-owned practice with deep community roots and a reputation for one-on-one, high-quality care, we continue to serve Hockessin and greater New Castle County, DE with the same compassion and clinical excellence that started it all.

As Performance Physical Therapy continues to grow, we're looking for a Physical Therapist who believes in doing things the right way - thoughtfully, compassionately, and with time to truly make connections.

You’ll treat approximately 1.3 patients per hour, allowing time to focus on meaningful outcomes, not volume. Evaluations are 60 minutes, and follow-ups are structured to prioritize individualized, evidence-based care.

Your typical day includes:

• Provide direct patient care focused on meaningful outcomes, education, and plan-of-care adherence.
• Develop individualized home exercise programs as needed
• Utilize evidence-based interventions across general orthopedics, spine, sports, and vestibular populations.
• Communicate progress, expectations, and discharge plans with patients, families, and referral sources.
• Complete accurate, compliant, timely documentation in Clinicient (EMR).

Our founders remain actively involved in patient care and mentorship, fostering a workplace defined by Honesty, Enthusiasm, Respect, Teamwork, and Family.

We offer:

• CEU + APTA dues reimbursement
• Health, dental, and vision coverage
• IRA retirement plan with company match
• Mentorship for every new hire (new grad or experienced)
• Paid time off + paid holidays
• Performance-based bonus opportunities
• Structured pathways for clinical advancement and professional development
• And more!

About You

You became a PT to help people move, recover, and live better - and you're looking for a practice that lets you do that well. Whether you're a new grad or an experienced clinician, you want a place where you can grow, feel supported, and make a lasting impact.

We'd love to hear from you if you bring:

• An active or eligible Delaware Physical Therapy license (from a CAPTE-accredited program)
• A collaborative mindset and commitment to personalized care
• Drive to keep learning with interests in specializations such as manual therapy, dry needling, myofascial release, orthopedics, and others
• Strong clinical reasoning, communication, and documentation skills
• The ability to work independently and as part of a patient-focused team
• Familiarity with Medicare and third-party payer requirements
