About the Job
Physical Therapist, Full Time | Calibrate Physical Therapy & FitnessFairfield & New Canaan, CT
Who we areCalibrate is a cash based, one on one physical therapy and performance practice with locations in Fairfield and New Canaan. Our approach is built around Precision. Prevention. Performance. — precise evaluation and treatment, getting ahead of a problem before it ever shows up, and a clear path back to the performance people actually care about. One therapist, one patient, a full hour, every time.
Our founder's clinical background includes several years as Head Athletic Trainer/PT for the Brooklyn Nets, Senior Clinician for the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee, and New York City Football Club. What that means day to day isn't a prestige line. It's that the mentorship and clinical reasoning you'll be exposed to here comes from someone who's had to solve hard movement problems under real pressure, and who genuinely enjoys teaching it.
What this role actually isYou'll run your own full one on one caseload, evaluating, building individualized treatment plans, and delivering care to people who chose to pay out of pocket for a better experience, which means they're invested and so is the outcome. You'll have the time to actually think through each case instead of racing the clock. You'll educate patients on prevention and self management, not just hand them a discharge folder. And you'll do it across two locations that hold the same standard of care, working alongside a small team that actually collaborates on hard cases rather than handling them in isolation.
Mentorship, available if you want it
Therapists who want it can opt into 4 hours of dedicated one on one mentorship per month, directly with our founder, paid time, not something squeezed between patients. Case reviews, movement assessment refinement, career pathing, and direct access to sports medicine level clinical reasoning. It's there for therapists earlier in their career who want a real mentor, not just a supervisor, but it's never mandatory. You run your own caseload either way.

What we're looking for
- DPT (or equivalent accredited degree), Board Certified and state licensed in Connecticut (or license eligible)
- OCS and/or SCS preferred
- Strong clinical reasoning across orthopedic, neuromuscular, and musculoskeletal presentations
- Someone who wants to own their caseload and think independently through a plan of care
- A clear communicator. Patients should understand their plan and their "why," not just follow it
- A growth mindset. You treat every case as a chance to get sharper, not just a box to check
- Driven to find the optimized path for each patient, even when it means questioning the standard playbook
- Comfortable operating both proactively and reactively, correcting what's already broken and catching what's about to be
- Curious about tech enabled assessment and eager to bring new tools into how you evaluate movement, not just how you treat it
- A collaborator who welcomes a second opinion on a tough case, and offers one just as freely
- Genuine interest in preventative, performance oriented, whole person care
Who thrives hereTherapists who want a practice small enough that their work is visible, with a mentor invested enough that their growth is intentional.
