Job Description

Practice Somewhere You Want to Build a Life

Southwest Denver doesn't ask you to choose between a career you love and a life you actually want. The Littleton and Dry Creek corridor sits at the edge of everything Colorado does best — Chatfield State Park, Red Rocks, Jefferson County Open Space trails, and ski resorts close enough that a powder day doesn't have to be a fantasy. This isn't a place people move to for a job and leave when it ends. It's a place people plant themselves.

This team reflects that. Spend five minutes on the staff bios and you'll find hikers, campers, rafters, kayakers, and skiers — people who chose this corner of Colorado on purpose. If you're a PT who works hard and wants to live somewhere that rewards it with actual mountains, this one's easy.

Many therapists move here for the lifestyle—and stay for the career growth, community, and mentorship opportunities . This is a place where you can practice hands-on PT, take ownership of your patients, and develop into a future clinic leader while building the life you love.

About Physical Therapy of the Rockies

What happens when a PT gets tired of asking permission to run a great clinic? They build one. After hitting the ceiling of a large Denver rehab network — leadership role and all — our founder walked away in 2015 to create something corporate PT never could: a practice built around clinical excellence, not productivity quotas. A decade later, it's two locations, 10+ clinicians, and a credential stack that includes Diploma Osteopractic, McKenzie, vestibular rehab, dry needling, and spinal manipulation.

You’ll join a team where mentorship is part of the job, collaboration is real, and professional growth is encouraged. Our clinics consistently rank in the top tier nationally for patient outcomes , and we prioritize creating a work environment where you can thrive both professionally and personally.
