Job Description

At MovementX, we believe that empowered physical therapists can empower their patients. But nowadays, more and more physical therapists are feeling burnt-out from busy clinic schedules, time-consuming administrative burden, and third-party incentives standing between them and their patients. That’s why at MovementX, we’re doing things differently.

Our community of passionate physical therapists provide personalized care directly in people’s homes, gyms, offices and more. Empowered by a strong referral network, innovative technology, and an engaging team of colleagues, MovementX physical therapists can achieve their full potential as clinicians.

We are growing quickly and looking for physical therapists who have experience or interest in cash-pay and a strong set of values to join our team in five different regions throughout the country. Join the movement today.
