Why Join Sport Ortho Urgent Care?
At Sport Ortho Urgent Care, we believe Physical Therapists should have the time, resources, and support to deliver the highest quality conservative musculoskeletal care—not be burned out by unrealistic patient loads.

This manageable caseload gives you the ability to practice at the top of your license, spend meaningful time with patients, and achieve better outcomes.
We continue to lead the way in innovative, value-based conservative care by utilizing Physical Therapists as direct access providers for all patients. This forward-thinking approach allows PTs to be the front line of musculoskeletal care while working within a fully integrated orthopedic model.
