About the Role

Are you an outpatient Physical Therapist (PT) burned out by corporate productivity metrics, 45-minute double bookings, and endless charting?

Pelvic Path is an established cash-based outpatient clinic in San Rafael, CA seeking a California-licensed Physical Therapist (PT) with a background in outpatient orthopedics who wants to develop or expand an advanced expertise in Pelvic Health.
