Physical Therapist - Sports Performance

Physical Therapist Job i Verno Hills, IL TFI Physical Therapy & Sports Performance is hiring for a Physical Therapist job i Verno Hills, IL, for a motivated clinician who wants to combine orthopedic rehabilitation with sports medicine and performance training. This is a role for someone who's passionate about helping active individuals, athletes, and post-injury patients get back to the activities they love, backed by a team that treats clinical excellence and mentorship as equally important. A Practice Built to Bridge Rehab and Performance TFI is a privately owned practice built to bridge high-quality rehabilitation with sports performance and fitness training, guided by core values of compassion, excellence, integrity, and community. The clinical philosophy here is evidence-based and movement-focused, with an emphasis on personalized programming that supports long-term health and performance rather than one-size-fits-all protocols. You'll be trusted as a professional, with real autonomy to make patient care decisions within your scope, and the practice actively promotes from within for leadership and management roles as you grow, backed by personalized career development plans. The Verno Hills location gives you access to Pilates programming, a cold plunge, and a sauna alongside the clinical space, plus a performance gym on site, so the line between rehab and performance training is a short one here. Administrative staff handle scheduling, billing, and documentation, and the clinic is equipped with state-of-the-art treatment equipment, so your time goes toward patient care rather than paperwork. The culture leans collaborative and close-knit, with therapy and administrative teams working closely together and an open-door approach to questions and feedback. Hands-On Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Care Day to day, you'll evaluate new patients and build individualized, evidence-based treatment plans, providing hands-on therapy and therapeutic exercise programs for orthopedic and sports-related injuries. You'll guide patients through rehabilitation, discharge, and follow-up care, coordinate with referring physicians to ensure continuity of care, and adjust treatment plans as patients progress and their needs change. The role also involves physician relationship building and community outreach, so strong communication and a genuine interest in connecting with the local Chicago-area community matter as much as clinical skill. This position suits a PT who wants an active, hands-on caseload and a team that invests in ongoing growth: continuing education reimbursement, certifications, and workshops are built into the culture here, along with performance bonuses and covered professional liability insurance. Experience with active populations and return-to-sport programming is preferred, but a growth-oriented mindset and strong work ethic matter just as much as a specific caseload background. Passionate, growth-oriented clinicians are encouraged to apply even without a deep sports performance background, as long as you bring a strong foundation in orthopedic care and a genuine interest in this patient population.
