Job Description
PRN Contract Physical Therapist
Flexible Coverage. Exceptional Patient Care. Work When It Fits Your Schedule.
3D Physical Therapy is looking for experienced Physical Therapists interested in providing PRN coverage on an independent contractor basis at our outpatient orthopedic clinics in Dallas.
This opportunity is ideal for a PT who wants to supplement an existing position, maintain clinical practice with a flexible schedule, or simply pick up additional patient-care opportunities when availability allows.
As PRN coverage needs arise, you'll have the flexibility to accept opportunities that work with your schedule while practicing in a supportive, PT-owned outpatient environment.
A Flexible Way to Practice
This isn't a traditional full-time or part-time position.
Our PRN contractors help provide continuity of patient care when coverage is needed due to vacations, PTO, schedule changes, or other temporary staffing needs.
Depending on your availability and our coverage needs, opportunities may include individual patient visits, partial-day coverage, or clinic-day coverage.
You'll Have the Opportunity To
- Accept PRN coverage opportunities based on your availability
- Evaluate and treat an outpatient orthopedic patient population
- Provide evidence-based treatment consistent with established plans of care
- Communicate effectively with the patient's primary therapist and clinical team
- Maintain continuity and quality of care during temporary coverage
- Create the same exceptional patient experience our patients expect from 3DPT
Who This Opportunity FITS
- This arrangement may be a great fit if you're:
- A PT looking to supplement your current income
- A clinician interested in occasional outpatient orthopedic work
- Looking for flexibility without committing to a regular weekly schedule
- An experienced therapist who enjoys staying clinically active
- Interested in developing an ongoing PRN relationship with a locally owned practice
We're looking for therapists who are dependable, clinically confident, adaptable, and able to step into an established patient schedule while maintaining a high standard of care.
Qualifications
- Doctor of Physical Therapy degree or equivalent PT degree
- Current Texas Physical Therapist license
- Outpatient orthopedic experience strongly preferred
- Ability to independently evaluate and treat patients
- Strong communication and documentation skills
- Commitment to exceptional patient care
Compensation & Contract Structure
- This is a PRN independent contractor position paid per patient visit.
- $45–$60 per patient visit
- No required regular weekly schedule
- Coverage opportunities offered based on clinic needs
- Accept opportunities based on your availability
- Opportunity for an ongoing PRN relationship with 3DPT
Because this is an independent contractor opportunity rather than an employee position, traditional employee benefits are not included.
Provide Coverage Without Compromising Quality
3D Physical Therapy is privately owned and operated by physical therapists. Our clinics are built around quality over quantity, collaboration, and creating an exceptional experience for every patient.
Our vision is to intentionally set the Gold Standard in Physical Therapy by enhancing lives and empowering people through passion & purpose.
We're looking for PRN therapists who can step into our clinics when needed and provide the same level of clinical care and patient experience our patients have come to expect.
If you're an experienced PT looking for a flexible way to stay connected to outpatient practice or add additional clinical work to your schedule, we'd love to hear from you.

Key Skills
Physical Therapist Career Context
Of the 40 active Physical Therapy listings this role was benchmarked against, 10% are remote, 35% have no call, 53% require no weekends.
In Texas, the Physical Therapy weighted monthly median benchmark on WeekdayDoc is ~$88k (786 salary observations; 5,170 listings), vs ~$94k nationally (15,056 salary observations; 57,503 listings). Monthly aggregates cover 2026-01-01 through 2026-10-01; these are not the modal's selected comparable-job medians.
The cost-of-living index for Texas is 97.1 (US average = 100; BEA Regional Price Parities (2024)), so the posted ~$109k midpoint carries the purchasing power of roughly $112k in an average-cost state. 57.7% of Texas clinicians report burnout symptoms in WeekdayDoc's Burnout Index (2026-01 data).
Location & Logistics
Texas has no state income tax, which can significantly increase take-home pay compared to high-tax states. At the posted ~$109k midpoint, that is roughly $4k–$8k a year versus a typical 4–7% state rate.
