Job Description

Join a collaborative Emory MSK team with built-in mentorship, expert clinicians, and room to grow.

At Confluent Health and our family of affiliated brands, physical therapists practice in an environment built for high quality care, professional growth, and sustainable careers. We support clinicians with innovative tools, strong mentorship, and clear development pathways.

Advance your career at Emory Orthopaedics & Spine Center in Brookhaven, where you’ll provide top-tier patient care in a collaborative, state-of-the-art environment—inside the brand-new, 180,000 sq. ft. LEED-certified Emory Musculoskeletal Institute designed for innovation and growth.

This is a dynamic outpatient orthopedic clinic specializing in neck and back care, built for physical therapists who value hands-on treatment and clinical excellence.

We’re looking for skilled manual therapists with training and certification in trigger point dry needling (TDN) who want the time and support to truly treat—not rush.
