Job Description

$80,000-$95,000/year + productivity incentives - Up to $10,000 sign-on bonus - AI-powered clinical documentation support

HPRC Physical Therapy is seeking a full-time Physical Therapist to join our Medical & Health Resources – Orthotics & Prosthetics clinic in Columbus, GA.

Grow Faster. Never Practice Alone. Gain Specialized Experience. This clinic treats complex and non-complex neurologic diagnoses, general orthopedic conditions, and patients undergoing prosthetic rehabilitation, working alongside a dedicated on-site orthotist and prosthetist. It's a rare, hands-on collaboration — a dimension of practice few clinicians get to build, whether you're early in your career or years into it.

Real mentorship, real teammates. You'll sharpen your clinical skills alongside therapists who take mentorship seriously — real collaboration, case discussion, and shared problem-solving that keeps everyone growing, however many years you've been practicing. Our therapists work together and share knowledge freely, so you always have resources and teammates to lean on as you develop your career.

Live and work in a city with room to grow. Columbus offers the energy of a larger city with an accessible, community-focused feel — downtown loft living, a vibrant arts and entertainment scene, and year-round outdoor recreation from whitewater rafting to cycling, with the mountains and the beach both a short drive away.
