What are the responsibilities and job description for the LEAD PHYSICAL THERAPIST -OUTPATIENT ORTHO -SIGN-ON BONUS $7,500 position at Sport Ortho Urgent Care?
Physical Therapist – Integrated Orthopedic Model
Location: Murfreesboro, TN (Clinic #12 — Opening April 2026)
Job Type: Full-Time
Sign-On Bonus: $7,500 | Annual Performance Incentive: $5,000
This Isn’t Your Typical PT Job
Most outpatient PT clinics hand you a full schedule and a productivity quota. We built something different.
Sport Ortho is a fully integrated musculoskeletal platform, orthopedic surgeons, sports medicine physicians, PA/NPs, and physical therapists practicing together under one roof, every single day. Not as separate departments. Not through a referral fax. As a unified care team.
Our physical therapists are embedded in that model from day one. You’ll collaborate directly with orthopedic providers on complex cases, have access to on-site imaging, regenerative medicine, and sports medicine and you’ll practice in an environment designed to exhaust every conservative option before anything else is considered.
And because we believe great care requires time, our PTs average 10 patients per day. That’s not a marketing line. It’s a clinical standard we protect intentionally.
What Makes Sport Ortho Different
A Real Collaborative Model
Work alongside orthopedic surgeons, sports medicine physicians, and PA/NPs in the same building, not across town. Case collaboration happens in real time, not through portal messages.
On-Site Clinical Resources
In-house imaging, regenerative medicine, urgent orthopedic care, and sports medicine give you tools most outpatient PTs never touch. You’ll practice at the full depth of your training.
Manageable Caseloads, By Design
10 patients per day is our standard. It gives you the space to do thorough evaluations, deliver hands-on care, and actually move the needle for your patients.
A Growing Platform With Staying Power
Sport Ortho operates 12 clinics across Middle Tennessee with continued growth planned. You’re joining a maturing model at an exciting time, with real clinical leadership opportunities ahead.
A Place to Learn, Not Just Work
Whether you’re a seasoned clinician or a new grad, Sport Ortho is a genuine learning environment. You’ll get exposure to the full orthopedic landscape, from conservative care to surgical follow-up, across multiple clinical lenses every week.
