Physical Therapist

Job Description

Company Description\n

Remember why you became a physical therapist?

\n

It probably wasn’t to spend your day staring at a computer, racing from patient to patient, or having your value measured by productivity metrics.

\n

At Align Physical Therapy, Inc. , we believe great physical therapists still love what they do. Sometimes they just need the right environment to love doing it again.

\n

Align is a physical therapist-owned and led private practice serving Florida's Space Coast. Our mission is straightforward: provide exceptional, individualized physical and occupational therapy that helps people return to the activities they love—and create an environment where clinicians are trusted and supported to do the work they were trained to do.

\n

We believe in listening to patients, understanding why they hurt, educating them, and treating the person rather than simply treating a diagnosis. Our clinicians use evidence-informed care, hands-on treatment, exercise, movement education, and progressive rehabilitation to help patients achieve meaningful and sustainable outcomes.

\n

We also believe technology should give therapists more time with patients, not less . Align utilizes AI-assisted documentation and technology designed to reduce the administrative burden that contributes to clinician burnout.

\n

Our ownership understands the profession because Align is led by a physical therapist with more than 30 years of clinical and healthcare leadership experience . The vision is not to build another corporate therapy company. It is to build a growing private practice where excellent clinicians can have autonomy, build meaningful careers, take exceptional care of patients, and still have a life outside the clinic.

\n

Align currently serves multiple communities throughout Brevard County, Florida , with continued growth underway, including expansion into Viera .

\n

And when the workday ends, you get to live on Florida's Space Coast —minutes from the Atlantic Ocean and Indian River Lagoon, surrounded by beaches, boating, fishing, kayaking, year-round outdoor activities, and rocket launches from your own backyard, while remaining close to Orlando and everything Central Florida has to offer.

\n

Maybe you don't need a different career. Maybe you just need a different place to practice it.

Role Description\n

We are looking for a full-time Physical Therapist who wants to practice physical therapy the way they imagined they would when they first entered the profession.

\n

This is an on-site outpatient position in Brevard County / the Greater Melbourne Area .

\n

You'll evaluate patients, develop individualized plans of care, provide skilled hands-on and exercise-based treatment, educate patients, progress functional rehabilitation, and help people return to meaningful activities.

\n

But equally important: we want you to think.

\n

We want clinicians who are curious about why someone hurts, who enjoy solving difficult problems, who communicate with their patients, and who understand that excellent physical therapy isn't simply moving someone through a list of exercises.

\n

You'll have the opportunity to collaborate with other PTs, PTAs, OTs, referring providers, and members of the patient's healthcare team while maintaining the clinical autonomy expected of a licensed professional.

\n

We want our therapists spending their energy on patients—not paperwork . Align uses AI-assisted clinical documentation to help reduce documentation burden and allow clinicians to spend more of their day doing what they became physical therapists to do.

\n

\n

We aren't looking to simply fill an opening.

\n

We're looking for the right physical therapist to become part of what we're building.

Qualifications\n

More than anything, we are looking for a great clinician and a good human being who still cares deeply about helping people.

• Comfortable collaborating with therapists, support staff, physicians, and other healthcare professionals

\n

We'd especially like to meet you if:\n

\n
• You like solving complicated cases rather than following a formula
\n

\n

\n

Experience is valued, but the right person matters more than the perfect résumé.

\n

If you're an experienced PT looking for something different, we'd love to meet you.

\n

If you're a newer clinician looking for mentorship and a place where you can grow into an exceptional therapist, we'd love to meet you too.

\n

And if you're reading this while thinking, “I'm not actually looking for another job…” but something about this sounds like what you've been missing, reach out anyway.

\n

You don't have to be ready to leave your current position to have a confidential conversation.

\n

Come meet us. See the clinics. Talk with our team. Ask questions and decide for yourself whether Align feels different.

\n

And if you're happy where you are but know an excellent physical therapist who might need to see this, please share it with them.

\n

They may not need to leave physical therapy.

\n

\n
• They may just need a better place to practice it.
