Job description

Physical Therapist — Pelvic Health, Orthopedics & Regenerative Medicine

Nurtiva Pelvic Therapy | Dubuque, IA 52001

Nurtiva is a cash-based clinic offering true 60-minute, one‑on‑one care — no insurance hassle, no productivity quotas, just the time and space to actually treat your patients well. We're looking for a Physical Therapist to join our growing team, treating a blended caseload of pelvic health, orthopedics, and regenerative medicine (shockwave therapy).

This is a great fit for a new grad who wants real mentorship and exposure to a wide range of clinical work, or an experienced PT looking for a practice model that lets you actually spend time with your patients — and the chance to work hands‑on with technology‑driven treatment.

What you'll do

• Provide one‑on‑one, 60‑minute PT sessions across a blended pelvic health, orthopedic, and regenerative medicine caseload
• Conduct evaluations, develop and progress individualized plans of care, and provide hands‑on manual therapy and exercise‑based treatment
• Treat a range of pelvic health conditions in both female and male patients — training and mentorship provided if pelvic health (especially male pelvic health) is new to you
• Deliver shockwave therapy as part of integrated treatment plans, working alongside our Lead Orthopedic PT to apply protocols for active adults and athletes
• Collaborate closely with our small clinical team on complex cases
• Maintain timely, accurate documentation in EMR

Why this clinic

• True 60‑minute sessions — real time to treat, not rush
• Zero insurance hassle — your clinical judgment drives the plan of care
• Small, collaborative team with hands‑on mentorship — you won't be figuring things out alone
• Hands‑on exposure to regenerative medicine and shockwave therapy — a genuinely growing area of the field
• Base salary of $82,000-$98,000 (depending on experience) + performance bonuses tied to caseload growth and retention
• A genuine growth opportunity: pelvic health and regenerative medicine are both specialized, in‑demand skill sets, and we'll invest in training you in both

You might be a fit if...

• You're a licensed PT (or new grad) looking for a practice where you can build real relationships with patients, not just move through a schedule
• You're curious about pelvic health, including male pelvic health — no prior experience required, just openness to learning
• You're excited by where technology and manual therapy intersect, and want hands‑on experience with shockwave/regenerative treatment
• You want mentorship and a team that invests in your clinical growth
• You're comfortable working across pelvic health, orthopedic, and regenerative medicine caseloads, or excited to develop skill across all three

Qualifications

• Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) and Iowa PT license (or eligibility) — required
• New grads welcome and encouraged to apply
• No pelvic health or shockwave experience required — we provide training and mentorship

Schedule:

Full‑time preferred, 4‑5 days/week. Hours can flex for the right candidate.
