Outpatient Ortho / Manual Physical Therapist at Cash Based Clinic

55-Minute One-on-One Care | $75K-$120K+ | Clinical Autonomy | Quality Over Quantity

Delafield, WI
Practice Physical Therapy the Way You Always Imagined

We believe great therapists deserve an environment that allows them to do exceptional work.

Exceptional outcomes require more than following protocols. They require time to listen, the ability to think critically, meaningful relationships with patients, and the freedom to utilize your full clinical skillset.

At Balance Within Integrative Physical Therapy, we've intentionally built that environment. We believe physical therapists are primary musculoskeletal providers who help people move better, feel better, and live fuller lives. That's why we've created a practice where clinicians have the autonomy, support, and time to uncover the root cause, integrate their full clinical expertise, and provide truly individualized care. We've also built a culture that challenges and supports therapists to continually grow into exceptional clinicians.

We're looking for a skilled orthopedic/manual therapist with several years of experience who is passionate about clinical excellence, lifelong learning, and helping redefine what's possible in physical therapy.

About Us

Balance Within is a PT-owned, cash-based practice that has been serving Lake Country for more than 10 years. After experiencing the limitations of traditional insurance-based care, Drs. Sarah and Jereme Trunk founded Balance Within in 2015 with a simple vision: create a practice where therapists could thrive professionally while providing patients the time, attention, and individualized care they truly deserve.


We are known for combining evidence-based orthopedics, specialized care, manual therapies, movement-based rehabilitation and whole-person/body clinical reasoning to help patients find answers when other approaches have fallen short.

Our Mission: Heal People. Heal the World. One Patient at a Time.

Our Top 2 Values:

1. People First, Patient Second
2. Pursuing Excellence Through Continuous Growth and Learning

• Build trust and communicate clearly

• Inspire patients to commit to their care, stay engaged and achieve lasting results

• Take ownership of the patient experience

We believe exceptional outcomes aren't created through clinical expertise alone. They're built through trust, meaningful relationships, thoughtful communication, and empowering patients to take an active role in their recovery and long-term health.
