About Reps & Recover

At Reps & Recover, we believe that better movement leads to a better life. We specialize in individualized, one-on-one care that bridges the gap between physical therapy, mobility training, and strength conditioning. Located in Palatine, IL, we work with a wide range of clients to support healing, recovery, and pain relief.

We deliver 100% direct 1-on-1 care (never handing patients off to aides or using cookie-cutter templates). Our model combines clinic-based care, virtual coaching, and mobile in-home treatment to give patients maximum flexibility while helping them eliminate pain, master end-range mobility, and unlock peak physical performance.

The Role

We are seeking a high-energy, entrepreneurial Founding Physical Therapist to join our team as we scale. This position starts as a flexible part-time role (10–15 hours per week) with the direct opportunity to grow a full-time caseload and leadership footprint as patient demand expands.

As a founding clinician, you won't just treat patients- you will help shape our clinical culture, champion evidence-based active rehabilitation, and play a pivotal role in expanding our specialized service lines.

What You’ll Do

Provide 1-on-1 Care: Perform detailed evaluations and 60-minute direct treatment sessions utilizing skilled manual therapy, end-range mobility training, and strength programming tailored to each patient's goals.

Build & Drive Caseload: Actively engage with the community, foster client relationships, and participate in local outreach/networking to build a loyal patient pipeline.

Deliver Flexible Care: Conduct high-touch visits in our Palatine clinic, virtually, or via mobile outpatient visits as needed.

Educate & Empower: Coach clients on movement mechanics, injury prevention, and strength development, ensuring a smooth transition from pain relief to performance/personal training.

Document Efficiently: Complete timely, concise clinical documentation to ensure high quality of care and compliance.

Shape Practice Growth: Collaborate closely with clinical leadership to refine care models, test new service packages, and help build a foundational framework for future hires.

Why You’ll Love This Position

• True 1-on-1 Patient Care: Spend a full hour with every patient without double-booking or relying on aides
• Entrepreneurial Impact: Direct involvement in building a growing, modern PT brand from the ground up
• Flexible Growth Path: Start with part-time flexibility and scale into a full-time clinical role or leadership position as your caseload grows
• Hybrid Versatility: Deliver care across clinic-based, mobile, and telehealth settings

Performance-Oriented Environment: Focus on active recovery, strength racks, mobility protocols, and functional movement rather than passive modalities

Mentorship & Leadership Opportunities: Direct opportunity to mentor future clinical team members, student interns, and junior staff as the clinic expands
