Job description

Company Description

Salary $75,000 - $90,000 depending on experience

• Work alongside PT leaders who actually treat patients - our partner/owners are in the clinic with you, not in a corporate office. You'll get real-time mentorship and support from experienced clinicians.
• Manageable caseloads that prioritize quality care - with just 9-10 visits per day, you'll have the time to focus on patient outcomes, not rushing through appointments.
• Unlimited continuing education funding - pursue certifications, courses, and specialties without worrying about cost. We invest heavily in your clinical growth from day one.
• Structured mentorship through our IGNITE program - designed specifically for new grads, this program helps bridge the gap from school to confident, independent practice.
• Strong emphasis on clinical excellence over volume - our model is built on delivering meaningful, patient-centered care rather than maximizing numbers.
• Leadership development opportunities early in your career - if you're interested in growth beyond treating, we actively develop future clinic leaders from within.
• Collaborative and fun clinic culture - regular team celebrations, cross-clinic events, and a supportive environment make work something you'll actually enjoy.
• Generous 401(k) with 50% match - start building your financial future right away with a competitive retirement benefit.
• Autonomy with support - you'll have the freedom to treat patients your way, backed by a team that's always there to collaborate and guide when needed
