Orthopedic Physical Therapist (Contract Role)
Outpatient Clinic | Contract-Based | $55-$65/hr

Are you driven to help people move better and return to the activities they enjoy most?

We're looking for a skilled Orthopedic Physical Therapist to join our rehab team on a contract basis in a friendly, clinic-based environment.

What We're Looking For:
  • Doctorate or Master's degree in Physical Therapy from an accredited institution
  • Current state licensure (or eligibility to obtain)
  • Prior experience in orthopedic PT preferred, though motivated new grads with a strong interest in ortho are encouraged to apply
  • Excellent manual therapy, clinical reasoning, and communication skills
What You'll Do:
  • Assess and treat patients with orthopedic conditions, from post-op recovery to chronic pain and joint dysfunction
  • Develop customized treatment plans aimed at restoring strength, mobility, and function
  • Apply a range of interventions including manual therapy, exercise, modalities, and patient education
  • Work closely with physicians, surgeons, and other healthcare professionals to ensure coordinated, effective care
  • Track progress and update treatment plans as needed to achieve optimal outcomes
  • Educate patients and caregivers on injury prevention and home-based strategies
Compensation & Benefits:
  • $55-$65 per hour, depending on experience and credentials
  • Flexible contract scheduling
  • Supportive, results-focused clinical setting

If you're ready to make a meaningful impact in a collaborative outpatient environment-and value flexibility-this is a great opportunity to grow and thrive in orthopedic rehab. Apply now and become part of a team committed to clinical excellence and patient success.
