Physical Therapist

Physical Therapist – Traverse City, MI FULL_TIME 4177 Village Park Dr Ste B Traverse City, MI 49685 Elite Physical Therapy and Sports Performance was built around a simple idea: treatment and training programs should be designed for the individual, not pulled from a standard template. We’re currently hiring for a Staff Physical Therapist job in Traverse City, MI, and we’re looking for someone who wants to bring that same individualized mindset to their clinical work. In this role, you’ll conduct physical therapy evaluations, develop and carry out treatment plans, and work alongside other physical therapists and athletic trainers to coordinate patient care, while partnering with our front office team on scheduling, insurance billing, and authorizations. We treat everyone from weekend athletes to post-surgical patients working their way back to daily life, and we’re looking for a clinician who takes that full range seriously, adjusting each plan as a patient’s needs change rather than sticking to a fixed script. Individualized Care, From Evaluation to Outcome Every patient who walks through our doors gets a plan built around their specific needs and goals, not a one-size-fits-all protocol. As a Staff Physical Therapist, you’ll conduct comprehensive evaluations, create personalized treatment plans, and provide hands‑on care that reflects the person in front of you, whether that’s an athlete rehabbing a sprain or someone recovering from surgery and working to return to daily activities. We look for clinicians who embrace challenges and take pride in helping patients feel better faster, and who document thoroughly enough that progress toward goals and proper billing practices are both supported. Our tagline isn’t just marketing copy: bringing a genuinely individualized level of care to each patient and athlete is the standard we hold every clinician to, from the first evaluation through discharge and return to activity. Support to Grow Your Practice You won’t be handling evaluations and treatment planning on your own. Our Staff Physical Therapists collaborate directly with other PTs and athletic trainers to coordinate patient care, and with front office staff on the scheduling and billing side, so you can stay focused on treatment rather than administrative overflow. We describe our culture as collaborative and athlete‑focused, and we back that up with real support: a $2,000 annual continuing education budget, leadership that’s invested in helping clinicians refine their skills over time, and a setting where a background in sports performance or strength training is welcomed, though not required. Whether your interests lean toward manual therapy techniques like Graston or dry needling, movement‑based assessment approaches such as Functional Movement Systems, or working with competitive athletes on return‑to‑sport goals, there’s genuine room here to develop that focus over the course of your career with us. Compensation $83,200 base salary ($40/hour), with potential to increase based on experience Benefits Group health insurance, or a monthly “bonus” for those who choose not to participate Continuing education budget of $2,000/year If this kind of individualized, team‑based approach to patient care sounds like the right fit for you, we’d love to talk. You’ll join a clinic that backs its physical therapists with real collaboration, ongoing growth support, and the resources to treat every patient as the individual they are.
