**Read this before you apply.**
If you're a Sports PT who's tired of 4-patient-per-hour productivity quotas, fighting insurance for visits, and watching your clinical judgment get overruled by billing codes — keep reading. If you want a job where you can coast, close this tab.
**About CAN-AM Sports Medicine**
We're a cash-based sports medicine and performance rehab clinic in North Scottsdale serving active adults 40 — golfers, pickleball players, lifters, runners, and weekend athletes who've tried conventional PT and didn't get the results they were promised. We don't do band-aid care. We solve root-cause problems with movement-based rehab, strength integration, and 1-on-1 attention.
**Why this role is different**
- 1-on-1, 60-minute sessions with every patient — no techs, no double-booking, no productivity quotas
- Strength and performance-based rehab — not modalities and theraband circuits
- Zero insurance billing — full clinical autonomy from day one
- **Clinical autonomy within a performance-driven system** — you choose the techniques, treatment selection, and progression. We measure the outcomes. No insurance dictating your care, no predetermined protocols — but you own your results.
- A defined patient journey: Discovery Visit → Evaluation → Plan of Care, with documented systems (structured assessment framework, SOAP documentation, conversion tracking) so you know exactly how care progresses
- Direct mentorship from the owner/lead clinician on clinical refinement and patient communication
**What we're looking for**
- Licensed Physical Therapist in Arizona
- DPT required; OCS, SCS, CSCS, or equivalent post-graduate credentials strongly preferred
- Demonstrated experience in sports rehab, performance training, or strength and conditioning — not just clinic-based PT
- Comfortable communicating value and converting evaluations into multi-visit plans of care (we will train and coach this — but you need to be willing to own it)
- Track record of holding patients accountable to outcomes, not just symptom relief
- Self-directed, professional, and confident in your clinical judgment
**Responsibilities**
- Deliver high-quality, individualized rehab to active adults and athletes
- Run comprehensive movement assessments and build progressive rehab plans
- Own your patient conversion: Eval → POC → 2nd POC → long-term retention
- Track and improve your own conversion and retention metrics (we measure this)
- Support clinic growth through workshops, gym partnerships, and community events
- Educate patients on long-term performance, not just pain relief
**Compensation**
- **Base salary: $70,000**
- **Performance bonuses** tied to clearly defined conversion and retention metrics — top performers earn **$85,000 OTE**
- Bonus structure is transparent and written into your offer letter. No guessing, no vibes.
- Path to higher comp tied to clinical outcomes and patient retention, not seniority
**Benefits**
- 10 paid vacation days annually
- 5 paid sick days (front-loaded annually)
- Flexible schedule
- Paid Continuing education
- Mentorship and ongoing clinical development
**Schedule**
Monday–Friday up to 40 hours, with occasional weekend events (workshops, community outreach)
**Performance expectations — read carefully**
We run on metrics. Within your first 90 days, you'll be evaluated on specific conversion benchmarks (Eval-to-POC %, retention, revenue per patient). We give you the system, the training, and the mentorship to hit them. In exchange, we expect you to hit them. If that sounds like accountability you'd welcome, apply. If it sounds like pressure you'd resent, this isn't your clinic.
