About Us

Balance Physical Therapy & Human Performance Center, Inc. strives to be the most patient-focused, result-oriented rehabilitation facility on the Central Coast of California. Be part of a growing out-of-network practice that is 100 percent owned by physical therapists. We have grown from two locations to six locations in the past 2 years. Join our growing team and become a part of our mission to change the world, one patient at a time.

We seek energetic, community-minded PTs and PTA’s (full-time or part-time) with original ideas about providing hands-on service as special and unique as the patients we serve.

As a member of our collaborative clinical team, you’ll have the opportunity to treat a wide variety of diagnoses (post-surgical and non-surgical) in an outpatient setting, working together in an environment that has a profound and positive impact on the lives of everyone we treat. We accomplish this by living our Core Values, embodied in our S.T.R.O.N.G acronym:

  • Service to Patients.
  • Team Leadership.
  • Readiness to Learn.
  • Outstanding Initiative.
  • Notable Positivity.
  • Guidance to Others.
  • Clinical Director Position

The opportunities are endless here at Balance Physical Therapy. We encourage our teams to be creative and think outside the box of what we can do as physical therapists and managers.
