The Role

Looking to launch or accelerate your career in a clinic that works at the cutting edge of sports performance? Want to treat high-performing athletes while developing your skills with some of the most advanced physical therapy techniques available?

Join Ultrahealth - a leading, independent sports and orthopaedic clinic in San Francisco, recognised across the Bay Area for excellence in runner care, women's health and performance-focused rehabilitation.

We're seeking a licensed Physical Therapist (PT or PTLA) to join our high-performing, supportive team. This full-time, in-person opportunity is open to both new graduates looking for the right environment to learn and grow and experienced clinicians ready to take their career to the next level.

You'll work with a highly active patient base, including individuals performing at the forefront of their sports. This is a unique opportunity to help maximise athletic performance, not just recovery, using modern, evidence-based physical therapy techniques in a clinic that is constantly evolving.

If you're driven to build a career in sports therapy and want to be part of a team that genuinely pushes clinical standards forward, we'd love to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities:

• Assess physical function and identify movement limitations
• Create and deliver personalised treatment plans
• Apply manual therapy, exercise, and advanced rehabilitation techniques
• Monitor progress and adapt treatment as needed
• Educate patients on injury prevention and performance optimisation
• Collaborate with physicians and healthcare partners
• Maintain accurate and timely clinical documentation
• Stay up to date with the latest developments in sports and orthopaedic therapy

The Company

Ultrahealth has become the number one clinic in the Bay Area for treating all levels of athletes, from recreational to Olympic, in all sports. We are the go-to clinic for runners, futballers, triathletes and skiers, as well as a specialist hub for women' health and sports rehab.

Based in San Francisco's Financial District, Ultrahealth has delivered cutting-edge physical therapy and sports performance services for over 20 years. Founded in 1986, it remains a free-standing private practice with a clear mission: to not only treat injury, but to help every patient return stronger, fitter, and performing at their best.
