Job Description

A PT-Owned Practice That Understands Physical Therapists

Peak Performance Physical Therapy is privately and locally owned by a Physical Therapist.

That matters.

Our leadership understands the demands of patient care, the transition from DPT student to practicing clinician, the importance of continued clinical growth, and the difference the right working environment can make over the course of a Physical Therapist's career.

We have built Peak around the belief that when clinicians are supported, challenged to grow, and given the opportunity to do meaningful work, both our therapists and our patients benefit.

Our Team Describes Peak as a Place Where

  • Patient-centered, one-on-one care is valued
  • Continuing education and mentorship are encouraged
  • Clinicians are supported in developing their individual interests
  • Leadership opportunities are available
  • Feedback and collaboration are welcomed
  • Team members can grow professionally without becoming lost in a large corporate system

  • Evaluate and treat patients with orthopedic, musculoskeletal, neurological, post-surgical, sports, and other outpatient conditions
  • Develop individualized plans of care based on patient goals and clinical findings

  • Use manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, neuromuscular rehabilitation, and other appropriate treatment approaches
  • Educate patients on movement, recovery, injury prevention, and long-term health
  • Collaborate with Physical Therapists, PTAs, support staff, referring providers, and other healthcare professionals
