Help patients recover from orthopedic conditions, sports injuries, surgery, and joint replacements through hands-on rehabilitation.

Improve mobility and everyday function for patients with chronic pain, neurologic conditions, and geriatric rehabilitation needs.

Manage approximately 14 patients per day across evaluations and treatment visits while keeping care focused on individual needs.

Track patient progress and adapt treatment plans as goals, abilities, and needs change.

Coordinate with speech and occupational therapy providers to support patients receiving care across disciplines.

Build trust with patients and families through clear communication, consistent care, and a relationship-focused approach.

  • Active physical therapist license or eligibility for licensure in California.
  • Ability to evaluate patients and deliver individualized, hands-on physical therapy.
  • Readiness to manage the varied outpatient caseload and daily patient volume described above.
  • Clear communication with patients, families, and colleagues across disciplines.
  • Availability to work on-site at one of our clinics during an agreed schedule within clinic hours.

  • Interest or experience in pediatric physical therapy.
  • Experience collaborating with speech or occupational therapy providers.

  • Dental and vision insurance premiums paid at 100%.
  • 120 hours of paid time off per year, including sick time, plus seven paid holidays at eight hours each.
  • Up to $1,000 per year in reimbursement for pre-approved continuing education.

401(k) employer match of 100% on contributions up to the first 3% of compensation, plus 50% on the next 2%, for a maximum employer match of 4%.
