Physical Therapist (Full-Time or Part-Time)

SB Physio | Santa Barbara, CA

SB Physio is an established orthopedic physical therapy clinic transitioning from a traditional insurance-based practice to a hybrid model built around private pay, advanced technology, and long-term patient relationships.

This isn't a startup, it's a transition already underway. We've begun moving away from major insurance contracts and are building a practice where patients increasingly choose to invest directly in higher-level care.

We're looking for a Physical Therapist who wants to build a full caseload while practicing in a model built for long-term patient relationships and clinical excellence.

What Makes SB Physio Different

• True 1-on-1, 40-minute treatment sessions
• No double-booking or treatment aides
• Established referral base and consistent patient demand
• Growing private-pay practice with long-term career potential
• Clinical autonomy with support from an experienced team
• Focus on prevention, performance, wellness, and long-term patient relationships

Our goal is simple:

Become each patient's physical therapist for life- not just for one episode of care.

Technology You'll Actually Use

You’ll have access to technology that's integrated into daily patient care, including:

• VALD performance testing (ForceDecks, ForceFrame, Dynamo, HumanTrak)
• Class IV laser therapy
• Radial shockwave therapy
• Pulse PEMF
• NormaTec recovery systems
• AI-assisted documentation to reduce charting time

Schedule

• Full-time or part-time
• Flexible scheduling
• Full caseload with opportunity to shape your specialty interests over time

Growth & Compensation

As our clinic continues transitioning toward private pay, your opportunity grows alongside it.

• Competitive salary
• Performance-based bonus opportunities
• Long-term earning potential within an evolving practice model

Additional Opportunities

• Clinical Instructor opportunities
• Bonus compensation for supervising DPT students
• Regular involvement with clinical education and mentoring

We're Looking For Someone Who...

• Values quality over volume
• Enjoys developing long-term relationships with patients

• Is excited about the future of outpatient physical therapy
• Wants to grow with an established practice that’s already evolving
