Physical Therapist – Practice Partner (Profit-Share + Exit Participation) Johnson & Hayes Athens, AL

Join Our Team

Johnson & Hayes Physical Therapists is seeking a full-time Physical Therapist in the Athens area of Alabama to lead our outpatient orthopedic and sports-rehabilitation clinic and, through our PartnerPath™ program, share in the value you create: a monthly share of the profit the clinic generates, plus a share of the clinic's value if it is ever sold.

No buy-in. No personal guarantee. This role is designed for a PT who already knows the Limestone County referral community and wants to be paid like a partner for the practice they build.

Company Story

About Johnson & Hayes Physical Therapists

Johnson & Hayes® Physical Therapists was founded in Huntsville in 2003 by Scott Johnson and Todd Hayes, childhood friends and college baseball teammates whose own sports injuries drew them into physical therapy.

Today the practice operates seven clinics across Huntsville, Madison, Hampton Cove, Guntersville and Oneonta, with programs in orthopedic and musculoskeletal care, dizziness and balance, pelvic health, headaches and TMJ, and work comp.

Patients see the same therapist throughout their care, and the clinical approach is hands-on: manual therapy, dry needling, patient education and progressive exercise.

Athens is the natural next market for the brand, and the Practice Partner who opens it will build on a name physicians across North Alabama already know.

Johnson & Hayes is part of the Therapy Partner Solutions family of clinic brands, which provides the operational, billing and compliance backbone that lets clinicians practice at the top of their license. Learn more at johnsonandhayes.com.

Job Overview & Work Site

Why PartnerPath Is Different

Paid like a partner, without the buy-in. On top of a competitive base salary, you earn a percentage of the clinic's monthly profit and a multiple of its profit at sale. Full program terms are covered in the interview process.

Your referral relationships become your asset. If orthopedic, neurology, sports-medicine and family-practice physicians in Athens already trust you, this is where that trust pays off for you.

The back office is handled. Billing and collections, credentialing, compliance, HR, payroll, marketing and technology are provided through Therapy Partner Solutions, so you can focus on patients and physicians.

Clinical autonomy with a safety net. Set the clinical culture, hire your team, and build the service lines the community needs, backed by a company that operates clinics across multiple states.

Community first. Athens are your market. You will be the face of physical therapy for the patients and physicians who live here.

What You Will Do

Evaluate and treat patients with orthopedic, post-surgical, sports and neurological conditions, maintaining a personal caseload.

Build and steward physician referral relationships across orthopedics, neurology, primary care, sports medicine and pain management in Limestone County.

Lead the clinic team: recruit, mentor and develop PTs, PTAs and support staff.

Own the clinic scorecard: new patient volume, referral mix, visits, patient outcomes and satisfaction, and clinic profitability.
