Physical Therapist (Independent Contractor) Portland, OR | Flexible Schedule | Collaborative Team | Movement Matters Build your practice with autonomy - backed by a team, systems, and facility designed for athletes. SportsLab & Athletic Republic are Portland's sports rehab and performance center, offering independent physical therapists the chance to grow a practice inside a tightly integrated, multidisciplinary team. We're looking for a motivated Doctor of Physical Therapy to join us as an independent contractor - someone who wants ownership over how they build and run their caseload in a data-driven, athlete-focused setting. About Us Located in NE Portland, SportsLab brings physical therapists, chiropractors, strength coaches, acupuncturists, and massage therapists together under one roof, working alongside Athletic Republic's sports performance programming. Our facility includes: Private treatment rooms A fully equipped training and recovery gym VALD ForceDecks, ForceFrame, and SmartSpeed timing gates Hawkins Dynamics force plates mounted on leg press Tindeq Progressor and Voltra cable machine Sprint-capable treadmills (up to 25 mph, 35% incline) We run on Stride EMR and Timber for billing and insurance management. Athletic Republic trains 100+ youth and adult members in the same space where you'd practice - athletes who train here and want to rehab here too. It's a built-in population for a PT looking to grow a practice quickly. Our team — Matt Walsh, Jake Stout, Taylor Eckel, Evan Price, and Zach Shaver — are independent contractors themselves, blending evidence-based methods with hands-on clinical experience. Therapists here run a mix of in-network insurance and cash-pay care, supported by facility systems and an admin team.
