Job Description

Love Treating Patients? Build a Career Around It.

At North Boulder Physical Therapy (NBPT), we believe a rewarding PTA career is built on clinical autonomy, professional growth, and the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in patients' lives.

We're a therapist-owned outpatient physical therapy practice serving Colorado communities since 1980. We're looking for passionate clinicians who want to continue developing their expertise while building a long-term career focused on patient care.

Why Join NBPT?

  • Clinical Autonomy – Use your expertise and clinical judgment to deliver individualized, evidence-based care.
  • Unlimited Continuing Education Reimbursement – Plus a $500 travel stipend.

  • Focus on What You Love: Treating Patients

Work with a diverse outpatient orthopedic population, including sports injuries, postoperative rehabilitation, and musculoskeletal conditions.

Collaborate with other skilled clinicians while continuing to develop your expertise in manual therapy, dry needling, sports rehabilitation, and orthopedic care.

At NBPT, professional growth doesn't have to mean moving into management. We support clinicians who want to deepen their skills and build fulfilling careers in direct patient care.
