We are growing and looking for a Physical Therapist with a strong sports medicine focus who wants to practice at a higher level— thoughtful, results-driven rehabilitation.

Position Overview

This role is ideal for a Physical Therapist who enjoys working with athletes and active patients, understands biomechanics deeply, and wants to be part of an integrated care model alongside physicians and fitness professionals.

• Utilize performance tools (strength testing, movement analysis, etc.) when appropriate
• Maintain accurate and timely documentation (EMR: DrChrono)
• Contribute to a positive, high-performance clinic culture

• Strong interest or experience in sports medicine and orthopedics
• Experience with strength training, return-to-sport protocols, and movement assessment

Preferred (Not Required):

• Experience working with athletes ( youth, collegiate, or adult)
• Background in strength & conditioning (CSCS or similar)
• Manual therapy training
• Interest in performance, longevity, and wellness-based care
• Competitive salary (based on experience)
• Performance-based incentives
• Paid time off
• Continuing education support
• Opportunity for growth into leadership or program development roles

Who This Is Perfect For

Someone who’s tired of high-volume clinics and wants to actually practice at a high level, think critically, and be part of a forward-thinking, performance-driven environment.
