What are the responsibilities and job description for the Physical Therapist - Outpatient Private Practice | Clinic Director Pathway position at Innovative Physical Therapy and Sports Rehab?

Overview

Physical Therapist - PT-Owned Outpatient ClinicOne-on-one care model | Hands-on clinical culture | Competitive salary up to $20,000 in transition and incentive suppor

 

For the PT who wants outpatient care without the volume treadmill.

Innovative Physical Therapy & Sports Rehabilitation is a PT-owned outpatient practice serving Northwest Indiana through our Chesterton, Crown Point, and Valparaiso clinics. We were built around a simple belief: patients do better when their therapist has the time, autonomy, and continuity to treat the whole person, not just the diagnosis.

 

Our owner is still actively treating patients, and our model is intentionally hands-on and patient-centered. We do not build our care around group therapy. We focus on individualized treatment, clinical reasoning, manual therapy, movement, education, and helping patients get back to the lives they want to live.

 

This is a strong fit for a physical therapist who wants to practice in an outpatient setting, but does not want to feel rushed, overextended, or disconnected from patient outcomes.

Why PTs choose Innovative

  • One-on-one, individualized care model with a focus on quality, continuity, and patient outcomes
  • PT-owned private practice where the owner understands the work because he is still treating patients
  • Hands-on clinical culture with emphasis on manual therapy, movement, education, and evidence-based care
  • Varied outpatient caseload, including orthopedics, sports injuries, post-operative rehab, balance, concussions, workers’ comp, auto injuries, dry needling, and more
  • Clinical growth opportunities in areas such as certified manual therapy, sports rehab, vestibular, senior strength, Graston, BFR, and LSVT BIG, depending on clinic needs and clinician interest
  • Career path flexibility For the right clinician, this opportunity includes a pathway toward Clinic Director responsibilities, including mentoring clinicians, supporting clinic operations, and helping grow the local practice. 

 

Compensation and benefits

We know that changing roles is a meaningful decision, especially for a PT who is already employed or considering multiple opportunities. For the right candidate, Innovative offers up to $20,000 in transition and incentive support. This may be used to help with sign-on, relocation, student loans, or other transition-related needs, depending on the candidate and role. 

  • Strong base compensation
  • Robust incentive pay plan with a track to 6-figure income
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • PTO
  • 401(k)
  • Short-term and long-term disability
  • Clinical growth and career development opportunities
