A brand-new outpatient physical therapy clinic is seeking an experienced Physical Therapist who wants more than just another staff PT position.

This is an opportunity to become a foundational member of a growing practice where your clinical expertise, ideas, and leadership will directly influence the future of the clinic. Designed around evidence-based care, realistic scheduling, and therapist well-being, this practice allows clinicians to spend more time delivering exceptional patient care—not rushing through high-volume treatment schedules.

If you're looking for autonomy, meaningful patient relationships, professional growth, and the chance to help shape a clinic, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

Why You'll Love This Opportunity

• Quality over quantity: Provide individualized, one-on-one care with realistic caseloads of 10–12 patients per day, allowing you to focus on patient outcomes rather than productivity.

• Clinical autonomy with strong support: Enjoy the flexibility of a locally owned practice while benefiting from nationally recognized treatment systems, evidence-based rehabilitation resources, and ongoing continuing education.

• Leadership and career growth: Help shape a brand-new clinic with opportunities to mentor future clinicians, develop specialty programs, and grow into senior clinical or leadership roles as the practice expands.

Compensation & Benefits

• $90,000–$110,000 annually (Salary-based, not productivity or visit-based)

• Up to $3,000 annual performance incentive

• Potential $2,000 sign-on bonus

• $1,000 annually for CEUs, license renewal, and approved professional development

• Financial support may be available for specialty certifications that align with clinic growth

• 10 days of PTO annually

• Annual reviews for compensation and PTO based on performance and clinic growth

What You'll Treat

The clinic primarily serves adults and older adults (ages 12+) with a diverse outpatient caseload including:

• Orthopedic injuries

• Post-operative rehabilitation

• Balance and vestibular disorders

• Neurological conditions

• Chronic pain

• Mobility and strength deficits

• Fall prevention

• Pelvic health (not required - interest welcomed; training available)

What You'll Do

• Perform comprehensive physical therapy evaluations

• Develop individualized evidence-based treatment plans

• Deliver hands-on outpatient rehabilitation services

• Educate patients on injury prevention, home exercise programs, balance, and fall prevention

• Monitor patient progress and modify treatment plans as appropriate

• Complete timely documentation using the PROMPT EMR system

• Collaborate with fellow clinicians to deliver exceptional patient outcomes

• Help establish a trusted reputation within the Pearland community through outstanding patient care

Qualifications

• Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT preferred) or Master's in Physical Therapy from an accredited program

• Active Texas Physical Therapist license (or eligibility to obtain)

• Minimum of 1 year of outpatient clinical experience preferred

• Strong orthopedic experience preferred

• Interest in vestibular, balance, or geriatric rehabilitation (training available)

• Current CPR/BLS certification

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills

• Collaborative mindset with a passion for delivering outstanding patient care

• Organized, self-motivated, and excited to help build a thriving outpatient practice
