Job Description

Outpatient Orthopedic Physical Therapist

  • Great Physical Therapy Starts with Giving Great Therapists the Environment to Thrive
  • At 3D Physical Therapy, we believe exceptional patient care and a great place to work go hand in hand.

We're a PT-owned outpatient orthopedic practice in Dallas built around a simple philosophy: quality over quantity. Our therapists have the time, autonomy, resources, and team support to provide the level of care they would want for their own friends and family.

If you're looking for an environment where you can grow as a clinician, build meaningful relationships with your patients, and enjoy coming to work, we'd love to meet you.

What Practicing at 3DPT Looks Like

Our therapists typically treat 9–11 patients per day, allowing you to focus on clinical outcomes and the patient experience rather than simply moving patients through a schedule.

You'll Have the Opportunity To

  • Evaluate and treat a diverse outpatient orthopedic caseload
  • Develop individualized, evidence-based plans of care
  • Utilize manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, movement-based treatment, and patient education
  • Build meaningful relationships with patients throughout their recovery
  • Collaborate with experienced PTs, PTAs, and other members of the clinical team
  • Develop your clinical interests through continuing education and mentorship
  • Contribute ideas and have a voice in how we continue improving patient care

  • Values feedback and continued professional growth
  • Wants to be part of a team rather than simply have a place to work
  • Experienced clinicians and early-career therapists with a strong growth mindset are both encouraged to apply.

Qualifications

  • Doctor of Physical Therapy degree
  • Current or eligible Texas Physical Therapist license
  • Interest or experience in outpatient orthopedics
  • Commitment to high-quality, patient-centered care
