Job Description

Physical Therapist - Practice Owner within a Fully Furnished Clinic Space

Your practice. Your schedule. A space to grow.

About the Opportunity

Build and lead your own physical therapy clinic as an Independent Practice Owner, with a fully equipped, ready-to-practice clinic space. You call the shots on patient care and grow a practice that’s truly yours, while Prava takes on the lease, the financial risk, and the operational heavy lifting. It’s the rare chance to own your practice without the startup costs or headaches.

Prava is seeking a driven physical therapist to establish and lead an independent practice within a premier, fully furnished clinic space in Schaumburg, Illinois.

What You Get

A clinic that’s ready on day one: Space is full funded and furnished, including treatment equipment, so there’s no build-out, no startup loan, and no lease on your name

Your brand, your equity: You own the clinic name, website, and domain, and you build lasting value in your practice’s identity

True clinical autonomy: You have final say on evaluations, plans of care, visit frequency, and discharge. Business goals never override medical necessity

Zero back-office work: Prava handles payer contracting, credentialing, billing, collections, EHR, and patient intake, along with AI-driven tools that cut documentation time

Business coaching: You get marketing support, referral development, and a dedicated business strategist who works alongside you to grow your local reputation

A team you choose: Hire, mentor, and lead the PTs and PTAs who join your practice

What You Bring

  • Active state license as a Physical Therapist (PT) in good standing
  • A mindset ready to take the first steps towards practice ownership
  • Motivation to grow through patient relationships, community outreach and collaboration
  • An entrepreneurial mindset and a desire to lead and market a local clinic
  • Experience or interest in supervising PTs and PTAs
  • You don’t need a fully built practice to start. You do need the initiative to build one

Compensation

Earn $200K+ a year as your clinic matures

Work Location: In person in Schaumburg, Illinois
