Job Description

PT, FT, PRN (hourly)- Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT)
Meaningful Work, Real Flexibility

Not everyone wants the grind of full-time clinical life.
And honestly? We don’t think you should have to choose between your career and your life.

At FYZICAL Therapy & Balance Center – Poplar & Highland, we’re creating a role for a Physical Therapist who still loves what they do… just not necessarily 40+ hours of it.

Why This Role Is Different

• You choose your days and hours
• Stay sharp clinically without burnout
• Be part of a  high-level team  

Who This Is Perfect For

• A PT who wants to be  more present at home
• A clinician transitioning seasons (young kids, caregiving, semi-retired)
• Someone who still values  purposeful patient care , not just “filling time”
• A PT who wants to stay connected to a  clinic environment vs. home health

Clinical Environment

• Balance, vestibular, and orthopedic care
• One-on-one, patient-focused treatment
• Collaborative team that values outcomes over volume
• Space to contribute ideas and stay engaged professionally

What You Won’t Find Here

• Rigid scheduling or unrealistic expectations
• Being pulled in 10 different directions
• A clinic that forgets you have a life outside of work
