Job Description

  • Full-Time Physical Therapist
  • Salary: $85,000-$100,000 / Year
  • Job Location: Port Charlotte, Florida
  • Up to $15,000 in sign-on bonuses available

Fitness Quest Port Charlotte is one of the rare outpatient settings where pelvic health isn't an afterthought — it's a core part of what the clinic does, led by a Director who treats pelvic health patients personally and sets the clinical tone from the top down. If you're a pelvic health specialist, or a PT eager to develop in that space under direct mentorship, this is the kind of culture and caseload a new grad would be looking for.

Train under a Director with advanced manual therapy credentials in one of Florida's fastest-growing counties — Charlotte County's population jumped 11% in just 20 months, with over 17,000 new housing units forecasted between 2025 and 2030.

At Fitness Quest Port Charlotte, that growth means a rich, expanding patient population, real career runway, and a hands-on clinical leader who will push your manual therapy skills further than most outpatient jobs ever will.

The combination of a pelvic health-treating director AND advanced manual therapy training in a booming market is genuinely compelling — two very distinct specialty lanes that speak to totally different candidate profiles.
