Job Description

Physical Therapist – Outpatient Orthopedic Model

Location: Antioch, TN

Sign-On Bonus: $5,000 | Annual Incentives: $5,000+

Job Type: Full-time

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. Unlike high-volume clinics that push quantity over quality, our PTs treat an average of 10 patients per day. 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.

  • True Work-Life Balance: Manageable daily volumes, realistic productivity expectations, and a team-based approach that supports your professional growth.
