Outpatient Orthopedic Physical Therapist

Are you a physical therapist ready to do your best work and love where you work?

We're looking for a motivated PT to join a team that has been setting the standard for patient-centered orthopedic and sports physical therapy in central Iowa since 1999. If you're hungry to grow personally and professionally, desire to work alongside people who genuinely care for their patients and each other, and want to build a balanced life with a high level of well-being in an affordable community... keep reading.

The Setting

Our newly remodeled 5,500 sq ft facility sits in the heart of a revitalized downtown Marshalltown, which is a community on the rise, with the energy of restoration and pride to match. You'll walk into a space that was designed for elite clinical care, with the space and tools to perform your job well.

Why This Role Stands Out

Clinically, you'll thrive. Working alongside experienced, knowledgeable clinicians in a collaborative environment where mentorship isn't an afterthought but is built into the culture. We invest in your continuing education and leadership skills because strong individuals make better therapists and this translates into better outcomes for patients and a healthier practice for both staff and patients.

You'll matter to your patients and become a highly respected member of the community. We are not a patient mill. We are a private practice with a reputation built on doing right by every single person who walks through our doors. Patient-focused isn't a buzzword here, it's been our standard for over 27 years.

The team behaves like family. Professional, high-performing, and genuinely supportive. You'll have colleagues who show up for you inside and outside the clinic.

Life in Marshalltown

Low cost of living — your salary goes further here. Housing is affordable, and quality of life is high.

Community of ~30,000 — big enough to have what you need, small enough that you're a vital part of the community and making a difference in friends and neighbors lives.

30 minutes from larger metro areas when you want a change of pace.

A community that's coming back to life with local shopping, restaurants, golf courses, bike trails, community events, and a sense of positive change and momentum you can feel.

You're a Great Fit If You…

Hold a valid Iowa PT license (or are eligible)

Are passionate about orthopedic and sports rehabilitation

Want to grow and desire to work wtih a team invested in that growth

Value authentic relationships with patients and colleagues

Are ready to plant roots somewhere you can actually afford to live

This is a career move, not just a job change.

If you're ready to bring your skills to a place that will challenge and assist you to be your best and reward you for it, then we'd love to hear from you.
