Physical Therapist - Outpatient Orthopedics

100% cash-based outpatient orthopedics in downtown Portsmouth, NH. New grads welcome. If you're tired of being told how many patients to see, fighting insurance for what your patients actually need, and watching your skills plateau because your clinic doesn't invest in you, keep reading. You went to PT school to be excellent. You deserve to work somewhere that lets you become it. ABOUT US CJ Physical Therapy & Pilates is a 100% cash-based outpatient clinic in downtown Portsmouth, NH. For 10 years, we've helped adults 40+ stay active, mobile, and out of the surgery, injection, and medication cycle. Our clinical model is built on three specialties: Mechanical Diagnosis & Therapy (MDT / McKenzie Method); Pilates-based rehab using the tower, chair, and reformer; and regenerative therapies including Shockwave (EPAT/ESWT) and EMTT. You don't need experience in all three to apply. We provide structured training and mentorship in every specialty, and new grads are welcome. What you do need is the standards and curiosity to actually master them. WHY YOU'LL LOVE WORKING HERE We invest in your growth, structurally, not just in words. Our clinic closes every Tuesday for 3 hours of dedicated team training: real case discussions, real skill development, real mentorship. We just promoted one of our Staff PTs to Clinical Director, so the growth path here isn't a promise on a job ad, we've already walked someone down it. You'll also get a $2,000 annual CEU allowance plus dedicated CEU days that don't eat into your PTO, and a clear progression into advanced certifications, mentorship roles, and clinical leadership based on results, not tenure. The day-to-day supports the work: 60-minute 1:1 PT sessions and 30-minute regenerative therapy sessions, one patient at a time, fully present. No insurance battles, productivity quotas, or documentation rabbit holes. A collaborative, feedback-driven team that's low ego and high standards. A fun, dog-friendly, low-drama culture in the heart of downtown Portsmouth. And we don't discharge patients the moment their pain is gone, we help them get back to what matters most. YOUR ROLE Evaluate and treat patients using the MDT framework as your foundation (training provided if you're new to it). Integrate Pilates-based rehab and regenerative therapies to deliver outcomes most clinics can't. Own your patient outcomes: retention, results, and long-term transformation. Show up fully for our Tuesday training blocks and weekly mentorship, and take part in the community events and team experiences that build our culture. YOU'LL THRIVE HERE IF You're done with insurance-driven volume, productivity targets, and 15-minute visits. You take ownership of patient outcomes, not just hours worked. You actively want feedback and push your own development. You see patients as long-term relationships, not transactions. And you believe high-quality, cash-pay care is the future of PT. THIS ISN'T FOR YOU IF You need to be told exactly what to do and how to do it. You're looking for a slow-paced, low-accountability environment. You think volume and productivity units are the right way to measure a PT. Or you're more interested in your credentials than what your patients actually achieve. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR Physical Therapist who's licensed or on track to be. New grads and out-of-state PTs are welcome. If you're not NH-licensed yet, don't let that stop you from applying. We'll help you sort out licensure once we both know it's a fit. What matters most: you're excited to learn and apply MDT as your primary evaluation framework, you're passionate about client education and movement-based rehab, you're curious about regenerative therapies and ready to add them to your toolkit, and you're accountable, coachable, and a real team player. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS Salary: $85K - $115K depending on experience and prior con-ed. $250/month toward company-sponsored health insurance. 50% dental premium paid by employer. 401(k) with up to 4% company match. Paid holidays plus PTO. Clinic closed and paid between Christmas and New Year's, in addition to PTO. Company-sponsored short-term disability and family medical leave. $2,000 annual CEU allowance plus CEU days separate from PTO. Real career advancement based on outcomes and growth, not tenure.
