Clinic Director/Physical Therapist

Physical Therapist / Clinic Director – Outpatient Private PracticeBuild Your Own Physical Therapy Practice—Without Having to Fund One

If you’re tired of traditional corporate PT, there’s a different way to practice.

Fitness Physio is a Physical Therapist-owned and operated outpatient Physical Therapy practice built around a simple idea: Physical Therapy belongs where people are already working to become healthier, stronger, and more active.

That's why we put our Physical Therapists directly inside leading fitness clubs.

We're looking for Physical Therapists with an entrepreneurial spirit who want more than another PT job.

At Fitness Physio, you have the opportunity to build and lead your own clinic, become the Physical Therapy resource for an established fitness community, grow your patient base and team, and share in the profits you help create—without investing your own money to open a practice.

Fitness Physio provides the capital, infrastructure, payer relationships, credentialing, billing, marketing, recruiting, HR, technology, compliance, and administrative support behind you.

You bring the clinical expertise, leadership, relationships, and entrepreneurial drive. We provide the platform to build around you.

And we do it while protecting what brought most of us into this profession in the first place:

Actually treating patients.

Our Physical Therapists provide true one-on-one care in a full fitness environment, giving you the opportunity to practice at the top of your license without bouncing between multiple patients at the same time.

Why Physical Therapists Choose Fitness PhysioPhysical Therapist Owned & Led

Fitness Physio is owned and led by Physical Therapists.

We understand what it's like to treat patients, manage a caseload, build referral relationships, develop a team, and grow a successful practice.

Our clinicians have a voice in how their clinics operate, how patients are treated, and how we continue to grow.

TRUE Clinic Profit Sharing

We believe that if you help build a successful clinic, you should participate financially in the success you create.

Qualified Clinic Directors participate in TRUE clinic profit sharing paid yearly, in addition to their regular compensation.

You help build it.

You help grow it.

You share in the profits it generates.

Entrepreneurial Opportunity Without the Financial Risk

Have you ever thought about opening your own Physical Therapy practice?

Fitness Physio gives entrepreneurial clinicians the opportunity to experience much of the autonomy and financial upside of building a practice without having to personally fund the startup.

You don't have to find and finance a location, negotiate a lease, obtain payer contracts, build a billing department, create HR infrastructure, develop technology systems, or personally absorb the financial risk of starting from zero.

Fitness Physio provides the investment and infrastructure. You build the practice.

Your Practice Starts With an Established Fitness Community

One of the hardest parts of opening a traditional private practice is starting with an empty clinic and trying to build awareness from scratch.

Our model is different.

Fitness Physio clinics operate inside established fitness clubs, putting you directly into a community of people who are already interested in their health, fitness, performance, and recovery.

You'll have the opportunity to build relationships with:

• Club members
• Personal Trainers
• Fitness professionals
• Coaches
• Club leadership
• Physicians and healthcare providers
• Local businesses and organizations
• The surrounding community

You're not simply waiting for patients to find you.

You're building a Physical Therapy practice inside an existing health and fitness ecosystem.

True One-on-One Patient Care

Our model is built around individualized patient care.

You can focus on the person in front of you, use your clinical judgment, and develop the treatment progression you believe will produce the best outcome.

No cookie-cutter treatment plans. No assembly-line Physical Therapy.

Practice at the Top of Your License

Use your entire clinical skill set, including:

• Clinical reasoning
• Manual therapy
• Therapeutic exercise
• Neuromuscular re-education
• Strength and conditioning
• Patient education
• Injury prevention
• Return-to-sport programming
• Return-to-performance programming
• Evidence-based interventions appropriate for your patients

You determine the appropriate plan of care and progression based on your professional judgment.

Take Rehabilitation Beyond the Treatment Table

Traditional outpatient clinics can be limited by their environment.

At Fitness Physio, your clinic is located inside a full fitness facility.

That gives you the ability to progress patients from the treatment table to functional movement, strength, conditioning, sport-specific activity, and return-to-performance programming in the environment where they ultimately want to succeed.

We don't believe Physical Therapy should end when someone can simply function again.

We want to help people return to the activities, workouts, sports, and lives they love.

Work With Fitness Professionals—Not Against Them

Physical Therapy and fitness shouldn't operate in separate worlds.

Our model creates a natural relationship between the Physical Therapist and the fitness professionals around the patient.

As the patient progresses, you can collaborate with trainers and fitness professionals to help create a smoother transition from rehabilitation to independent exercise and long-term fitness.

That means better continuity for the patient and stronger relationships throughout the club.

Your Clinic. Your Community.

We want our Clinic Directors to think like owners.

Develop relationships throughout your fitness club and surrounding community.

Build referral relationships.

Create specialty programs.

Mentor clinicians.

Grow your team.

Become the trusted Physical Therapy resource for the club.

Your ideas can directly influence your clinic's patient experience, culture, programs, and future growth.

Who We're Looking For

We're looking for more than someone who wants another PT job.

We're looking for clinicians who think like owners.

Maybe you've considered opening your own practice but don't want to take on the capital requirements, administrative burden, or financial risk of doing it alone.

Maybe you want more autonomy over how you practice and the opportunity to build something.

Maybe you enjoy developing relationships and want to become the healthcare resource for an entire fitness community.

Or maybe you simply believe that if you're responsible for helping a clinic become successful, you should participate financially in that success.

If that describes you, Fitness Physio may be the right place for you.

• 401(k) with Company Matching

The Fitness Physio Difference

At many outpatient practices, you're asked to grow the clinic, build referral relationships, develop the team, increase patient volume, and take responsibility for the clinic's performance.

But when the clinic becomes more profitable, you're still earning essentially the same paycheck.

We think that model is backwards.

At Fitness Physio, qualified Clinic Directors have TRUE clinic profit sharing.

You help build the clinic.
You help grow it.
You help make it successful.
You share in the profits it generates.

And unlike opening your own private practice, you don't have to invest your own money to participate.

Fitness Physio provides the capital and business infrastructure.

You provide the clinical excellence, leadership, relationships, and entrepreneurial drive.

Build Something That's Yours—Without Doing It Alone

You could open a Physical Therapy practice yourself.

You could find the location, negotiate the lease, fund the startup, obtain payer contracts, credential providers, hire staff, build billing infrastructure, develop marketing, manage compliance, implement technology, and personally absorb the financial risk while the clinic grows.

Or you can build it with Fitness Physio.

We'll provide the infrastructure, support, investment, and a unique opportunity to build your practice inside an established fitness community.

You build an exceptional clinic.

And when the clinic succeeds, you share in that success.

If you're a Physical Therapist who wants one-on-one patient care, clinical autonomy, an entrepreneurial opportunity, leadership potential, access to a full fitness environment, and a real financial stake in what you help build, we'd like to meet you.

Apply today and come build something different with Fitness Physio.
