Job Description

IRG Physical & Hand Therapy is the premier provider of outpatient Physical & Hand Therapy in the Northwest. Deeply embedded in our communities, we strive to make a positive impact where we live, work, play—and compete. As a company, IRG provides a fun, dynamic, and supportive environment for both patients and employees, with a strong culture rooted in teamwork, growth, and excellence.

The Position

We’re seeking a Physical Therapist with strong interest or experience in sports medicine, orthopedic rehab, or athlete performance.

Our Snoqualmie location is uniquely positioned directly above one of the region’s largest hockey complexes, creating an exciting opportunity to work hands-on with youth, adult, and competitive hockey athletes, along with a highly active community.

You’ll treat a mix of general outpatient orthopedics and sports-driven cases, including acute injuries, overuse conditions, return-to-play programming, and performance optimization.

This setting is ideal for therapists who want to advance their sports skillset, collaborate with community athletic programs, and work in a highly active, sports-centric environment.

We offer enhanced compensation, AI documentation assistance, a patient-centered care model, flexible scheduling, and extensive mentorship with clear growth pathways—including sports specialization.

If you’re looking for a workplace where you can work with athletes, expand your sports clinical skills, and grow professionally, IRG is the place.

  • Collaborate with physicians, orthopedic specialists, athletic trainers, and coaching staff as needed.
  • Educate patients and families on home exercise programs and injury-prevention strategies.

  • Ability to lift, bend, squat, reach, and perform physical demonstrations with patients, including athletes.
  • Comfort working at a computer station for documentation needs.
