Job Description

  • Accelerate Therapy & Performance | Salisbury, NC (Greater Charlotte Area)
  • A Clinic Where Quality Care and a Sustainable Pace Actually Coexist
  • At Accelerate Therapy & Performance, we’ve built a model that balances two things that don’t always go together in outpatient PT:
  • High-quality, patient-centered care
  • A structured, efficient clinical environment
  • What Makes This Role Different

This Is a True Outpatient Orthopedic Setting Where

  • You’ll build meaningful patient relationships while maintaining a consistent, well-supported schedule
  • Care is personalized and intentional - without the chaos of an overloaded clinic
  • Expectations are clear, and your day is designed to be both productive and manageable

We Offer a Comprehensive Suite of Benefits

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Generous PTO + paid holidays
  • Continuing education support and mentorship
  • 401(k)
  • Relocation bonus available

Why Clinicians Are Drawn to This Area

  • Lower cost of living with access to a major metro
  • New housing and growing communities
  • A lifestyle that offers more flexibility and breathing room outside of work

  • Enjoy a steady, well-paced schedule and take pride in staying organized
  • Care deeply about patient outcomes, not just getting through the day
  • Appreciate clear expectations and a supportive team structure
  • Are looking for a role they can grow into - not just pass through
  • What You’ll be Doing
  • Treating a diverse outpatient orthopedic caseload
  • Developing individualized plans of care aligned with patient goals
