TIRED OF THE HIGH-VOLUME PT MILL? Are you an evidence-based physical therapist exhausted by 20+ patient daily quotas, double-booking, and spending your evenings writing notes at the dinner table? At Santa Fe Sports Medicine, we believe world-class orthopedic and sports rehabilitation requires time, clinical autonomy, and the right team around you. We are a practice where your clinical judgment actually matters. We don't count reps, and we don't rush patients through a conveyor belt. We focus on movement, performance, and long-term outcomes, getting athletes and active people back to the sports and activities they love. Santa Fe Sports Medicine is proudly part of the Professional Therapy Partners family of clinics, so if you hear from our recruiting team under that name, that's us!

WHAT YOUR DAY ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE

• SUSTAINABLE CASELOAD: A sustainable caseload averaging 12 patients per day, so you have time to actually treat, not just manage traffic.
• TEAM-SUPPORTED MODEL: You lead the plan of care from evaluation through discharge, with techs and PTAs supporting you so you can focus on the clinical work that matters most.
• DOCUMENTATION THAT STAYS AT WORK: We use WebPT with AI-assisted documentation, built to help you finish your notes during clinic hours instead of at your kitchen table.
