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.

  • Our Vision: A world healed by movement

As a MovementX provider, you have the perfect balance of autonomy and community. You operate on your own schedule, set your own rates, and manage your own caseload. But you’re not on your own, all of this is achieved with the support and guidance of other MovementX providers. We lean on each other to grow together while upholding the 11-star MovementX experience.

We Are Currently Looking for Providers Who

  • Strongly rooted in their local communities with strong professional networks
  • Are looking to make patient care with MovementX their primary source of income (a full-time equivalent caseload is 20 visits/week)
